Poor print quality on the Prusa i3 MK3

My print came out looking very bad.

Very irregular texture, impossible to remove the brim/bed.

Is there a way to test the Gcode for errors? How does one calibrate the printer?

Printer model & firmware: Prusa i3 MK3 / Firmware 3.4.1-1456

Filament type & brand: Magarita PLA - Petela 1.75mm

Slicer and version: macOS v 2.9.4

That looks like several issues compounding, let's address them in sequence.

First dry your filament then try printing again - something small and simple will do - and show us the result.

Cheerio,
