MK2s First prints

Hi, I've recently taken over a Maker Lab at a school. I've found 5 prusa MK2s, I have 2 operational but both printing like in the images I'm adding to this post.

I know everything has been already asked, but needed some pointers on what problems I'm getting.

I've updated them to the 3.2.3 firmware. And using the 0.2 layer pre-set from prusa slicer.

The accuracy of the cube is ok.

- PLA eSun (only material the school uses)

- the extruder makes a consistent clicking noise, but it's not jammed.

You are using damp filament, dry it.

Your first layer 'Z; compensation is good but could go a tiny fraction closer the the bed.

Either your belt tension's need adjusting or your smooth rods need lubrication, maybe both.

Extruder clicking might indicate dust in the extruder head  or a slightly misadjusted extruder idler pressure.
