Yet another first layer dummy question

Hi all!

Trying to get a proper first layer tweaking around, and I was wondering: how smooth is it supposed to be at the end, and am I seeing early sign of going too far or something else?

The labels are the Z settings:

first layer plate showing stripes and some settings

The plate starts from the bottom right.

I have a MK3s+. I use Ender filament, bed at 75˚C, extruder at 230˚C. The filament was in a dryer at 45˚C for a good 5--6h.

I was wondering if I should keep going until I make a mess of dangling PLA (window the operation), but the waving at the end (Z setting 1.02, 1.03): looks like stress relaxation. Am I right? Should I crank up the bed's temp before trying higher Z values?

Thanks!

RE: Yet another first layer dummy question

This is how I did 1st layer for the MK3S, still works on the C1L too

 

3rd digit applies to the MK3S
