PETG support on PLA print setting (0.2 nozzle)

Hello guys, as by the title, I'm trying to print some PLA pieces using PETG as support since these two don't stick together, but as the pictures shows the end result is very lacking.
Picture 1 and 2 is for the behind, 3 is for the top to show that the printing quality is very good

I'm printing with 0.2 nozzle at a 0.04 layer height (0.12/16 for first layer), and I put a 0.05 distance between object and support.

I know (and tried multiple times) that when printing with a layer height of 0.2 the best setting for the distance is 0.265 but I never found other info on optimal setting for difference layer heights

Can someone know how to help me? Thank you so much
I can already tell you that both filaments aren't the problem since I used those after and didn't get any problem (prints with no supports)

Some very fun testing, good results but needs improvement

I got the U1 for 10ish days and I'm having tons of fun with it. I even got the 0.2 nozzles and... yeh, it's amazing.

I tried to finally print these bionicle miniatures for a long while and now that I have a personal printer and the smaller nozzles I gave it a try.
I painted them on the slicer (took a while, but it was a very straightforward process), 0.04 layers heigh, tried different pose on the plate, and 14 hours later they were ready.

These came out very good (until you don't look at the back), super happy with it but I need to buy small tools to remove the supports because I couldn't recah it. Unfortunately I snapped a blade but it's an easy fix.

Only downside is the setting for the supports. I couldn't find what was the optimized distance and left it at 0.2 and it need a tweak to improve printing.
Luckily with the new Full Spectrum I can try to print with PLA red-black-white and PETG supports.

I can't wait to do the whole toa teams

Finally had time to update the display case

With my last trip back at home I was able to pick up my remaining variant skylanders (minis, magic items and other are still not with me)

I still have to think how to properly display the figures in the top left corner, but at least it looks decent

I really can't wait to find the last five regular figures to complete my collection, and I hope to even find the remaining in-game variants too

Since everyone is doing this

The last one is a joke

Or am I serious... 👀

Finally brought from home the remaining figures

With my last trip back at my hometown I got the chance to pack the last few in-game variants to bring at home

I will see how many I can put in my display case, but there's a lot of space left that I can use, can't really wait (and to show the final result)
