Adjusting Live Z for PETG and textured bed
Does anyone have recommendations for adjusting the Live Z with PET and the textured bed. I'm worried that if I get too close it's going to be impossible to remove little strands of PET. I've got the Live Z basically perfect for PLA and the smooth sheet.
Should I try printing a 1mm thick square and examining during the first layer? Does anyone have ideas?

From my experience the textured sheet was not as thick and the smooth sheet. This will require a different (lower) Z for the textured sheets vs smooth sheets.
PETG sticks like crazy to the smooth sheet but not as well to the textured in my experience. Once the sheet cools the prints pop off pretty easy. For the textured sheet, I like to bring my Z down far enough to make the infill lines disappear.
Performing a test print is always a good idea.

Yes, i would do so. Calibrate as you with PLA did it. After printing let the bed cool down to roomtemp. It should be easy removable from the pei textured sheet. The textured pei sheet is much more stable as the smooth one.

Recent rom images support Z for different plates.
Make sure you store your Smooth calibration as Smooth and your textured calibration as Textured.
And don't forget to tell the printer which plate you are using - or you will regret it.
