First Layer Issues

First layer is printing great but then after a while it starts to look bad.  Anyone have any ideas on whats going on or any recommendations?  I checked the nozzle and it was clean with no PLA blobbed on it.  PIC attached!!

RE: First Layer Issues

Layer 1 or Live-Z is off; looks too high.  The bed also looks very uneven front to back - like there is an assembly problem or the mesh level is not working or the bed calibration offsets are wrong.

Your bed is incredibly dirty; it really needs a soap and water wash at a sink, with gallons of hot water rinse.

And that extruder fan grill is causing you problems. It limits X-axis range and interferes with homing and calibration, not to mentions reduces airflow in the one place it is essential to maintain the best you can get.
