First layer issues. Help!

 

Hi all. I just got my first decent printer, the MK 3s. I’ve been fiddling around with it for 2 days now and I can’t get a good print. I’ve done the live z adjust where it comes out perfectly, but any prints just come out poorly, like the attached pic or with warping on a corner. Any tips would be helpful. I’ve tried cleaning with ipa, a whole slew of different z adjustments, adjusted the PINDA probe. I’m at a loss.

RE: First layer issues. Help!

looks like a dirty ( finger oils) bed - try washing to bed is hot water and dawn detergent ( plain dish detergent, no hand softeners or added stuff :)) using clean paper towels . rinse till the water beads up. dry with a clean paper towel and do not touch the surface with your hands.
