Ugly first layer
Hi guys,
I bought a used Anet A8 from a friend (I know, it's now really Prusa, but hey... come on) with many changes made. The most important ones are that the printer is now Based on RAMPS 1.4, I have a BLtouch installed and I am printing on a glass plate. Oh, and I use Cura for slicing.
After many other problems I was able to solve on my own, I now have a really ugly first layer I can't do anything about. Before describing the look of it, see the images below. Nevertheless this first layer sticks good to the bed.
What I already tried:
- getting a new glass plate (maybe it was bent or something)
- lowering the initial layer printing speed down to 15mm/s
- changing the x-axis offset multiple times
- testing different hot end temperatures from 190 to 220°C (printing PLA)
- testing different bed temperatures from 50 to 60°C
- lowering the initial fan speed to 40% with regular fan speed at layer 8
The printer already did better than shown, but after reassembling some parts for other problems, this one popped up.
Please help me, I can't print for 3 days now...

"changing the x-axis offset multiple times"
Of cause I mean the z-axis offset. Space between bed and nozzle
