Gaps Between layers and rolling of material on base layer.

Hello,

 

I am having issues with gaps between layers and rolling of material on the base/top layer (using PLA). I have tried multiple solutions based on troubleshooting guidance and this forum.

Let's start with your first layer z-offset, it's too low.  Getting that right may not help the gapping, but it's an important place to start.  Do a z-offset calibration and give us 2 photos, one of the whole bed and another of the little rectangle at the end.

...and you can see areas where the first layer is not sticking that look very like fingermarks; clean the print sheet.

Cheerio,
