Currently, a first layer width of 60% (printing at 0.2mm) has it nearly eliminated for the PLA currently being used. Good to have another option to experiment with!
It's a bit of a band aid technique, no doubt, but it can be very useful. The prints I did to test it have really printed well. I'd guess as first layer height and temps are changed then so is potential adhesion, so for smaller parts it'd probably be better to change printer settings and use the bevel for larger ones.
