I cant get my Anycubic Kobra 2 with Klipper to print correct. The first mm of each layer are faulty, resulting in a bad tooth in gears.

I tried to slow down the print, tried to minimize/deactivate retraction, fiddled with z offset and first layer height, lowered bed temp, altered the extrusion rate. Nothing works. Everything else seems fine, slim z seam, nice walls, no over/underextrusion.

Anyone got a hint how i could fix that?

Edit: I cancelled that Print, the Problem is only in the first tooth:

the tooth in the marking should look like the ones above it.

In the first photo the outter perimeters were completely print and the inner started to print. The outer perimeter from the first tooth is missing, so theres only the inner one. In PrusaSlicer the perimeters are correct, the nozzle moves correctly but no filament is coming out. It begins with the second tooth. I let the nozzle draw 5 lines prior to the printing so the pressure in the hot end is correct. I guess its a retraction issue, maybe the slicer retraction settings are ignored by the firmware, ill look into that tomorrow.

Anyways, here a picture of the first layer:

Okay, thanks. I'm afraid I don't have any further insight here, there's obviously either a problem with the G-code or how the printer is executing that G-code, I suspect your idea about retraction might have something to it. Could you provide the G-code file? I don't know if I will be able to get much out of it, but there are a number of G-code viewers and simulators that can help you understand better what's going on.

Thanks for your offer. I tried cura slicer and there the problem is gone. So it is a problem in PrusaSlicer. Here is the gcode, please dont put too much effort into it.
