Bottom little rough
Hello,
Im always struggling with a nice and even bottom on my MK3S+ since I moved from I3Mega.
Can anyone give me a hint how to fix it in latest Prusaslicer?
Best regards,
Daniel

That's not fixed in the slicer. Thats fixed on your printer by properly adjusting the live z value via the lcd. You basically want to squish that first layer more. If you don't you aren't getting proper adhesion to the pei surface and you are risking part detaching, that can cause spaghetti or even a blob'o'doom.
There are MANY threads on the forums about the process, the best being the jeff jordan method. With a tuned live z you can get bottoms that match the surface texture of the plater like - and yeah my plater is pretty old 🙂

Thanks Neophyl,
just did a test with a lower adjustment, better but not perfect.
RE: Bottom little rough
As @neophyl suggests, try adjusting your Z level lower still using this method by Jeff Jordan:
You can also change your first layer infill pattern to achieve a different look and texture. You can experiment with this in PrusaSlicer and view your potential results in the slicer preview before actually printing your model.
Cheers

After some tests I'm now down to -1.105, bottom side looks and sticks better now.
