First layer suddenly having problems?

I've been printing quite well on my new MK3.

Suddenly I'm getting bad results, can't get the first layer to adhere with PLA.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/55x61v4xc9gevkv/first_layer_problem.gcode?dl=0

I recalibrated everything. Here's the results of my first layer calibration and the bad first layer results i'm getting.

Any advice appreciated!

Images aren't visible.

Do you use the PEI sheet? Cleaned it with alcohol or rejuvenate it with acetone?

I'm a newly but this is the first thing that comes to mind. Hope it helps.

I'm having similar issues, to the point that the machine has gone from great prints to completely unusable in four weeks flat, and now I simply cannot put down a successful first layer no matter what.

Sorry if this is not a solution, but do you mind telling us what support have said about your problems?

It's not a cleaning issue, as far as I can tell. I've used 99% isopropyl alcohol on mine, as well as acetone, and no luck... 😥

Your pics aren't showing. Are they anything like mine?
