Anyone else get an uneven thickness textured sheet?
I finally got a textured sheet for my I3 MK3 a few weeks ago. Been printing PETG exclusively since then.
I get good layer adhesion on 2/3 of the plate. I assume the plate or coating varied.
I haven't experimented yet, but I suppose I'll change the Z offset value in PrusaSlicer for when I print in the area of low adhesion.
Anyone else get a sheet like this?

I have had one where that happened. I switched to 7x7 bed leveling and it resolved.

Thanks Charles! Probably just the answer I didn't know existed.
Can you tell me how to expand the bed leveling area? I have an I3 MK3.

I really wish they would make 7x7 with five samples the default, or at least make the option more obvious in the literature. I was not aware of the option until maybe a month or so after I had my printer and I saw it mentioned here.

Thanks for the video link! I will give it a try.

People read the literature (instructions)? 🤣

Thanks again Charles. 7x7 bed leveling appears to have fixed my problem. Getting decent first layers with PETG on all of the textured sheet now.

I am glad to hear that. We learn by experience. I have had the same issue.
