Warping in first layer, tips needed

Hi,

I noticed that my printer made the first layer a bit warped in places, I know I can probably fix this in a next print by dropping the first layer temperature.

Would this negatively impact strength (or anything really) if I set the first layers to the absolute minimum the PLA in question is rated for (210 c in this case)?

Also, is there any post processing I can do to smooth it out?

Also try raising live Z a bit (e.g., +0.04) as per https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/4254  

I have to do that for every large PLA print on all of my Mk4S's.

That's a good tip, thanks! Although I'm still on stock mk4 the included sheet file in the issue could really help me dial this in
