S3D First Layer Setting

I have made all my prints at 0.20 layer height so far.
Now i had rather big model and thought that i would go for 0.30.

First layer layer looks really good but the second is rather bad. Ok, it catches up after couple of layers but it looks like the nozzle is a bit to close.
With 0.20 i have no issues at all, first layer is really great and also the following.

I have 66% percent set at first layer height for the 0.30, that should be almost 0.20. I think it might be here something goes wrong.
So a simple question, what do you guys have for the first layer height on 0.30?

Re: S3D First Layer Setting

Is there any reason why you didn't go for first layer height of 100%
It's not the cure but I find a thicker first layer more forgiving. and rarely have a problem with definition, because of the initial layer height.

Yes, what i understand or read somewhere here, first layer should be .20 mm.

Ill simply try with 100% instead.

Thanks Joan.
