New MK3S, trouble with bench. Help please.

This is the first print for my Prusa mk3s. It is the pre-sliced bench that came with the SD card. Any ideas on what caused it to blob up on the roof? I'm waiting on a laptop to come in, so I can't change print settings yet.

My suspicion is that the nozzle temp was too low and possibly the bed temp as well. I'd raise both 10 degrees after print start via settings - temperature and, if necessary do so again after first layer is complete. This was caused by a blob of material not well detaching from the extruder.

I try to give answers to the best of my ability, but I am not a 3D printing pro by any means, and anything you do you do at your own risk. BTW: I have no food for…

The print temp was 215 degrees, which seems like it is kind of on the hotter side already.  Odd thing was, I printed the beer bottle opener and that came out fine. I'm unfamiliar with the volcano hotends. Do they run better at higher temps compared to Chinese hotends that use mk10 nozzles?
