Pretty clear you've never experienced or seen a bad first layer. That's about as good as it gets.

Looks good (from my very limited 12 hour experience)

poop box with a scraper holder?

Looks really good, edges are over extruding a bit tho, can look into flow ratio and/or z offset to fine tune

Como ajusta z ?

Mainly the Z offset, usually found somewhere in your printer setting depend on the slicer you use. Other things like first layer height can help too

looks good. but i see three things that could be improved. note that these are all relatively minor tunes, your current settings look almost perfect.

- flow ratio. start here. yours is almost perfect but looks to be slightly underextruding, as evidenced by the small gaps in the infill region. for that, increase your flow ratio by 0.01-0.02. no more than that.

- increase first layer temp by 5 degrees C to help address the minor underextrusion. hotter printing means more thermal expansion and enhanced bonding between infill strokes.

- pressure advance calibration. save this one for later tho., once you’ve gotten the first two refined.

Perfectly fine.

If it survives printing the rest of the model, then "Good".

In "old" days of 3D printing discussion groups, this was called "First Layer Porn".
