settings for PLA printing part at .050mm

Right now Im using the black PLA that came packed with the M2.
Temperatures 220 extruder and 70 bed (hairspray)

Im trying to print a part at .050mm.

What is the recommended settings for something at this resolution?

It starts off good then either starts pullin off bed after a couple minuted or becomes a mess.

I have a .35mm nozzle and I can print successfully at .100mm or higher but thats it

Any help would be appreciated.

reduced temps to 190 and 45, same thing starts off with perfect layeres.
Then after a couple min starts popping off everywhere, way worse at these lower temps!

Popping off the bed (at 60C) means you're too high off the bed. Adjust accordingly.

Yep. Set your first layer height to 400% or so.
