Fist layer not even

Hi there,

I'm not happy with the first layer on my MK3S+, it is stable and strong but not nice.

Is there anything I can do?

That wavy pattern is telling me that the nozzle is too close to the steel sheet. I'd back off a bit. If you haven't done so yet, ditch the built-in first layer calibration for any of the variants of the Live Z My Way method, e.g., I use this calibration strip that let me test 8 settings in one 5 minute print: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/105404

+1 @fuchsr.. yes.. just a bit too close.. That is now what I look for.. keep going closer until I see the waviness.. then back off until it is flat.
