PETG first layer; the lines do not stickt together

Hi

Does anyone have any hints or ideas of what I can do to achieve a solid first layer on my satin sheet.

The first layer of my PETG does not create a solid layer.

I'm using the satin sheet.

I have set the Z adjustment to -2, it seems to be the lowest it will go.

I can't use rafts, since it takes too long to remove them afterwards.

 

Best Answer by FoxRun3D:

If your lines are not together, the most likely explanation is that your nozzle is too high. If your already at -2 you'll have to move your PINDA sensor a bit higher. 

The Super PINDA should have about 1.5 mm distance between nozzle and sensor, so that you’re around -1 when your Live Z is correct. That gives you enough wiggle room up and down.

Instructions for adjusting the PINDA are in:

I put this little gadget on Printables to help position the PINDA: https://www.printables.com/model/57192

 

Works better than zip ties or credit cards, which have less well-defined heights.

don't forget to reset live Z to 0.00mm after raising your pinda, otherwise you risk scratching your build plate when you restart your printer.
