First layer calibration

I have been working on my first print. I finally got it to complete the PRUSA logo so that's good, but still not sure about the first layer calibration. I was having issues with the part coming off the bed at about the 5 minute mark into the print. I seem to have solved that by washing the sheet with dish soap. However I'm still not sure I have it set correct so thought I'd ask.

Does this look about correct or too low or high.

 

Here's what the first layer of the Prusa Logo looked like.

First layer looks good to me. Was that made with PETG filament? I ask because I see textured bed sheet.. For PLA smooth sheet should be used for better bed adhesion -just saying.

usually for PLA it is better to use the smooth pei sheet 😉 but you can use the textured one too. you could face some issues with small parts though

I'm not an expert. Ma parlo anche italiano 😉
