First issue sounds like first layer is not set correctly, follow this method then retry, I gather you have followed all setup procedures in tha manual?

Not sure about the second, some pictures would help please.

If larger objects print OK, and first layer is OK use a brim.

Tank you very much!

I use 3-5mm for a brim. That part should print fine without a brim. Be sure your PEI print surface is well cleaned and that your Live-Z is adjusted properly. Are you using a smooth or textured print surface? What filament are you using?

A very thanx. It works thanx!!!!

one more short question for extrusion. I got dots in a top layer. As I read there is overextrusion.

I go to prusa slic3r then filament settings and I change where it says extrusion multiplier to 0,8 just to try. But when I print I go to print menu then tune then flow and it says 100.is the same or not?!that is the difference?!how can I save the flow value from the printer menu.

thanx
