Fine details are not printed correctly

Hello Community,

i have a Prusa i3 MK3s + and i am a beginner.

I would like to print the following part:

With the first layer, the printer always has a problem precisely at the top where detailed small curves are involved.
(Admittedly, it looks a little better in the picture. The rest of the prints were much worse, it had almost no shape (the tip) )

I tried the following:
- The speed of the first layer is set to 5 mm / s
- Bed completely cleaned
- Glue stick used

The speed has improved a bit, but as you can see in the photos, it is not ideal.

What do you do with such detailed prints that they succeed?

RE: Fine details are not printed correctly

Firstly this is the forum for the Prusa Mini, you'll probably get more help in the Mk 3 forum. You don't say what material you are using, but if it's PLA you don't need glue. It's difficult to tell from the photo but I think your nozzle is a little high, so the part is not sticking to the bed and causing issues. I suggest you adjust your live z to lower the nozzle.
