extuder catching on own print

we have recently have bought a prebuilt mk3s. it has only been able to print once, it was a the 0.15 frog that came with the machine.
the issue is that it keeps catching on the print and then drags it off the bed and makes it into a ball of pla.

im not sure where to start, what do you guys think the cause of the issue is?

At a guess - print is not sticking to bed adequately. Live-Z too high.

Re: extuder catching on own print

the best prep for your bed is to wash it with warm water and dawn dish soap (in the UK use Fairy liquid) by using a wad of clean kitchen paper towel dampen with warm water and put a dollop of Dawn on the pad and scrub (i do it twice at 90 deg to each other holding the plate by the edge as it is a phonograph record rinse under running water and dry with clean paper towel keep touching only by the edge... I do this every other day of printing with both kinds of plate.
