Improving the texture of PETG on PEI sheet

When I google this, I can only find adhesion issue which I certainly don't have.  But I do struggle to get the nice textured finish on the underside when using the MK3S in the office at work.   I don't seem to have this problem at home on my own 3S+.  I understand they are both practically the same. 

 

I have tried;

  • Hotter nozzle
  • Slower first layer
  • Lower first layer
  • Overture & Eryone PETG

Any other things I should be looking at?

Thanks.

Pictures of the underside, may help!

Often this is a Live Z issue!

Hi Joan,  I have taken it to the extreme and it still has no texture, just a mess due it being too low.

This is bizarre, 2 failed prints of the same model now.

Please save your project as a .3mf file

Files > Save Project as

Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.

Cheerio,
