  Can I assume from your response that you have a mk4 or mk4s with this issue then?

  I can get adequate results with Zoffset or LiveZ +0.04 with smooth sheet and PLA.

  PETG is still variable results for same settings, z+0.01 is ok some of the time, others it is still terrible, and still sees filament build up, so if printing real things, it eventually blobs, and has a (bedArea - printArea) chance of then causing a collision.

  +0.02 means no bed adhesion, and I can’t actually get a finished first layer.

    I’ve never printed with PETG, so I can’t help you there, but I heard it’s a pretty difficult material to get right.

      Nah… It’s easy… My previous mk3s+ had hundreds of awwsome PETG hours.
