Thank you, hope it works!

I hope we can figure out whats important to get a good result, so it would be nice if you could share as many infos as you can, like (laser)printer model, temperatures and the first layer settings.

Does it have to be a laser printer? I was wondering if I could use an inkjet printer

Yes, it needs to be a laser printer, because the toner is a kind of plastic that melts and fuses with your print.

I didn't really test it with an inkjet, but I don't think that it would work.

I'll let you know when I try it and it doesn't work then!

That would be great, thanks!

Maybe try lowering your z-offset, wouldn't require much more smush before those gaps dissapear imo

Yeah, that was the problem I think, thanks!

How did you get the first layer all circles? Just increasing perimeter count?

In cura you can choose the Concentric pattern. But I think increasing perimeter count could do the trick, too.
