Really ugly first layers

Already cleaned print bed. No idea why this happens. I’m trying to print a lithophane. Any tips?


Please help

How are you cleaning your print bed? It looks to me like something is contaminating your bed.

Clean it properly :wink:
Soap and warm water with a non scratching sponge.
Dry off and clean again with CLEAN alcohol.
IPA usually is clean, methylated spirit or such from the hardware store should be tested on a mirror.
If it dries off without leaving haze or marks it is good enough for plate cleaning.
Rubbing alcohol is usually a really bad choice as it comes with scents and additives.

If, after cleaning with soapy water the water won’t run off evenly it means there is still contamination present in those areas.

Warm water and a Scrub Daddy. I’m not sure if the scrub daddy is good for print beds. It worked fine before

Is that the problem?

Don’t know Scrub Daddy, sorry…

The same problem again, now this time it is making grinding noises.

It might be overextrusion?
