When asking for help, please provide as much information as possible about your inquiry.
This will help everyone to better understand your problem, and provide you with the best solution.

• Detailed description of the problem
• Printer model used
• Slicer settings used
• Type of filament used
• Photos that clearly show the problem
• .3mf file (if the file can be shared)
• Any potentially useful information that is related to the problem

• I am trying to print a large area with a bottom layer using the octagram spiral pattern. I have used this pattern with other PLA and had successful results, but this filament is having inconsistent extrusion around the direction changes

• I’m only printing the first 4 layers to assess the issue

• P1S with AMS - Elegoo PLA+ Black filament, dried

• Calibrated K factor and flow just before this print as part of troubleshooting (0.02 and 0.9792 respectively)

• Max vol speed is 12 mm3/s

• 2 walls, 15% gyroid

• Initial layer speeds 50/105 (I tried 20/55 as well with similar results)

• Other later speeds 200/300

• All other settings are standard to 0.2 stock profile

• Part also has a 0.32 gap brim to help with warping

update: it was a bad plate. old glacier plate swapped with a fresh gold PEI and it came out amazing.
