Fixing layer start first 3 mm of print idex

Hi everyone, as you see, I have the trouble of poor starting off the print line. This part is printed on an IDEX printer, specifically a SV04. I am using the "windshield" function to build up pressure in each print head after each tool change. I thought that with the windshield running with one line around my object, I would get rid of the rough start on the object itself. But it seems like even though it runs its skirt, it does not have enough material in the print coming from the skirt to the object, which is only a small way. I wonder if I can use a function in Prusa Slicer to help me with this. I haven't found one yet. Do you have any tips or recommendations?

 

Thank you!
