There is no speed slider per say. Can you give me some target numbers to shoot for?

I did some experimenting with Cura and used these values. The top layer looks better but the bottom layer isn't solid. Before printing I did measure and check that when zero'd the bed is touching the glass. I then commanded the z to move to .5mm and I measured this using my feeler gauges. The distance was .5 at 4 corners and in the middle.

My suspicion is some of the things I did to make a nice top layer have also changed the bottom layer so that it isn't nice and solid.
