First Layer issues

Hi Everyone. 

I'm new to 3d printing and just got my Prusa Mini. I did the calibration and found it looks straight on the first layer calibration around .600 all the way to .690

But when i test print the logo, it doesnt stick and now it got all stuck around the nozzle.

What am i doing wrong?

Maybe this sites could help:

I may have figured it out. Its just that the calibration starts at 0.000 and ive been playing with it for 5 hours now trying to find it. I think i found the level at .850 because the first prusa logo print is sticking now.

Hi Michael,

I am guessing that you mean -0.850  because Live Z should never be positive!
