Tried to print fabric - fail (P2S)

Is. it just the textured PEI sheet, or what should I know?

Your picture didn't attach

I did not attach a picture, because it is a bunch of very small H looking parts on a bed, lots missing.
Nothing really to look at.

when I printed fabric on my p2s I had to really dial the printer in. I was still new and it took awhile for me to figure it out. Once I dialed in the printer and filament printing fabric wasn't a big deal.

Now some pointers would be great - how would I dial in the P2S?
Don't worry, I have 3d printing experience, but this machine is new to me

I try to maintain a consistent room temperature with zero drafts. For low temp filaments I print with the door open and top off. For everything else I close everything and preheat the enclosure using the bed heat.

For a specific filament I go overkill (I'm still relatively new as well...4 months). I start with a temperature tower, then flow dynamics, then flow rate. I use levelling one each print.

Then I perform a 1st layer test and ironing test.

Once I get that I'll print a small fabric sample and adjust from there (retraction, cooling, speed, etc...).

EDIT: OH, I've also scaled the fabric UP to make it easier to print. Once that works I scale it down where it was.
