What could occur if the print bed is not level during printing?

When the print bed is not level during the printing process, it can lead to warping and poor adhesion of the printed layers. A level print bed is crucial because it ensures that the nozzle is at a consistent distance from the bed across the entire print surface. If one side of the bed is too high or too low, the filament may not adhere properly to the surface, resulting in the first layer being uneven. This can cause the print to lift off the bed, leading to warping and ultimately affecting the quality of the entire print. Proper adhesion is essential for the stability of the print, especially during the initial layers where any imperfections can have a dramatic impact on the overall outcome. Ensuring a level print bed helps maintain consistent distance and pressure, promoting better bonding of the layers and enhancing the overall print quality.
