This is kinda part 2 of the same print and previously I changed only the printing order of walls to start from inner then to outer.
Not sure if this should be under the help or discussion tag.

Printing this simple mount for a motorcycle helmet and I’m not sure how to get even better results. I know this print is already decent enough but are there any other modifications I need to make.

1st is bottom, 2nd is top, 3rd and 4th are sides, last are closer look into the smaller details (I guess).

Not a big fan of the first layer (sadly want it to be as close as the last layer). There are visible lines at some layers, couple looking “empty”.

Any help?

I recently started printing with PETG and have tried various settings to improve the results. I adjusted the Z-offset, but it didn’t make much of a difference. I also cleaned the bed with alcohol and water and reapplied glue afterward.

While printing, it seems like the walls aren’t sticking to each other properly, even when printing at a 75°C bed temperature and 245°C nozzle temperature.

The only thing I haven’t tried yet is drying the filament before printing.

At this point, I’m genuinely unsure what else to change or try. Any help would be appreciated. I can provide more information if needed.
