First Prints Questions
Hello!
The mk3s is my first printer, so I'm as new to printing as you can get. (It was a blast to build!) These are my first prints and a sample first layer of the Prusa Logo. I've been adjusting the extruder idler and live z but, no matter what, my first layer looks very similar. Also on the whistle, it creates an odd wave as it make the turn. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Also to note, these are three first layer prints of the Prusa Logo. The wave forms in the print are close to identical.

the best prep for your bed is to wash it with warm water and dawn dish soap (in the UK use Fairy liquid) by using a wad of clean kitchen paper towel dampen with warm water and put a dollop of Dawn on the pad and scrub (i do it twice at 90 deg to each other holding the plate by the edge as it is a phonograph record rinse under running water and dry with clean paper towel keep touching only by the edge... I do this every other day of printing with both kinds of plate.
Then set your live z with this method https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting-f62/life-adjust-z-my-way-t2981.html it is far better than the zig zag method in the firmware
