My experience with Bambu PLA Matte is not “smooth”. The printout doesn’t adhere to the bed well and messed up after a while. Here is how it looks like.
Previously I was using PETG and it worked well. For PLA Matte, I’m using 220C nozzle temperature and 65C bed temperature. Do I get the settings correctly, any recommendation? Thanks!

Try with 55c bed temp instead and also wash your plate first.

Give the bed a really good scrub with water, diswashing liquid and a clean, strong brush. Really get into the depths of the plates valleys and do not be afraid to do it several times. You may want to add a good dose of isoprop before (!) washing to help getting that residue out.
As to the why, PETG is a great support interface material for PLA because it does not bond with PLA.

Hello!
Wash the build plate with de-greasing soap (Dawn works, just make sure it doesn’t have the lotion added in it) and hot water. Then dry it with a clean paper towel and place it on the heated (making sure not to touch it!). Even if you cleaned it and changed the bed temperature like @User_631303032 said, maybe try a different build plate (Supertack?) if you have one.
Best of luck!

I too think that 65°C bed is too hot.

Report back: cleaning + reducing temperature to 55C works well, thanks all for the help!
