Why can’t I print a smooth first layer?

This is on my MK3s+ with glue on the bed (used the provided glue stick). 

Printing ABS in an enclosure with nozzle @255 and bed @100. 

Why do these ripples happen and how can I get a perfect first smooth layer?

Your first layer Z calibration is a fraction too low.

Cheerio,

Oh interesting! I thought it had to do with the bed adhesion thing and probably I applied too little glue. 

Will experiment with very minor z height adjustments to see if this gets better. Thank you!
