First test print but can't quite tell if Z axis right.
Trying to see how well dialed in my Z axis is. Just got the Mini+ as my first printer so still trying to figure out things a bit. Ran the z calibration a few times and think it's at least somewhat ok, but would welcome opinions.
This was done with Prusament and default temp settings. Looks ok to my untrained eye from the top, but not sure on the back side (first layer). Trying to get a decent idea before printing anything too big. Don't want to waste any more filament than needed
As always, thanks in advance for any help!

Somewhat ok, and getting there but your z-offset is putting your nozzle too high. On the bottom layer, your lines of fill should have more squish against the sheet and snug up better against your perimeters. The following pic shows what you are aiming for.

Thanks for the quick reply! This certainly helps a lot! I was already at -1.75 on the Z axis, so wasn't sure how much further I could/should go. I will keep adjusting and keep working on it!
