First layer Problems
Hello guys
I have the following Problem: The first layer is bad. It's not bad over all but at some points of my bed. See the picture please. The left part is a perfect first layer and the right one is too high.
I alrealy recalibrated the XYZ and I did a first layer configuration. I cleaned the bed with Propanol and I reduced the printing speed to 50%. I have no idea what to do anymore.
the black filament is quality filament, the green one is from owl filament (not sure if this is good).

an you help me?

Have you enabled the 7x7 mesh bed leveling feature? It can help with this issue.

Alcohol isn't the best way to clean the bed. It's great for removing some PLA residue, but lousy at removing oils.
After scrubbing with alcohol, wash the sheet in hot soapy water, taking care to not touch the bed surface with your fingers. Use a paper towel as the scrubber, and then rinse for a couple of minutes under flowing hot water. Dry with a fresh paper towel, then handling only by the edges, place on printer.
Finger prints are your enemy when printing with PLA.

update the latest firmware if you haven't already.
then the 7x7 is under settings

mhhh.....the mid part of the printing sheet is still bad. I think the headbed warped slightly 🙁 At least I can print at the edges
