First Layer Callibration
Hi there, I assembled my Prusa i3 MK3S+ over the weekend and have not progressed past the first layer calibration. I upped the Z offset in stages and the last print was at -1.2 as per the photos (available once moderated?). I was about to run another at -1.4 but cannot print anything more than a smeared line (which is pretty hard to remove). Is this likely due to clogged nozzle (still filament being exuded at beginning of calibration/test).
Any comments about the print at -1.2 would be greatly appreciated too.
Cheers

Your first picture isn't clear enough to judge. The second looks close, it might usefully go a fraction lower but you will have more problems with the dirt on your print sheet. Clean it.
There are no obvious signs of clogging in your pictures.
Cheerio,

Hmm, I couldn't add links to these images in my original post.

Thanks Diem. I went to -1.3 and am really happy with the results. Noted your comments regarding cleaning print sheet.
