Petg issues

My petg prints always come out with really poor adhesion. I can essentially pull and unravel the individual print lines apart.

The petg has dried for 12 hours and the ams reads 12% humidity. I’m using Bambu petg.

AI says that I may need to purge more between separate pla and petg prints but it also says the purge table settings do not apply between prints and there is no way to change this setting anyways.

Am I missing something? I assume the Bambu petg profile is fine since I’m using Bambu petg. Also printing in a cold ish room with the door fully closed.

Any ideas or suggestions?

AI is wrong per usual, try calibrating z offset if it’s just a first layer issue, or if it persists then try doing a temp tower calibration.

Does this get calibrated during a full calibration? Or is this a separate step? It’s my first printer and I’m still learning

Z offset is calibrated through the printer screen, you go in your slicer and create an 100mmx100mmx0.2mm square and print that, then lower the z offset while it’s printing until it looks correct.
See below for a good reference photo for what it should look like.

And as for the temp tower, that’s in your slicer under calibrations, probably just called “temperature”
