"less snotty" first layer?

How can I make my first layer less "snotty"?

When the first border gets printed, I'm usually getting blobs. Sadly, these blobs cause further problems as they disrupt new filament layers.

This picture is esun PETG, standard PETG settings.

Any hints appreciated!

You can use Chris' Pretty PETG and Pretty PLA profiles which heat up the nozzle after bed leveling so there is nothing to clean up on the bed. There are other enhancements, but that's one thing you can change in your start gcode.
