Having first layers issues on my MK3S Started at 700 and reduced by 50 or so.

 

Hello,

 

First time poster. I been able to print before even with the first layer looking terrible but, now I'm to the point of needing a first layer so prints become easier to process. I have cleaned the surface with IPA and tried to avoid dust/prints. I printer the calibration test and this is what I got. When they print finished it was around 570-600. PAst 600 its too close and lower than 500 starts showing too far away. Is there something I missed?

are you doing 7x7 Mesh Bed levelling?

Have you tried washing the build plate with dish soap and HOT Water then rinsing with hot fresh water, and drying immediately with paper towels? 
to ensure a clean surface. 

have you tried 70C for the PLA Bed temperature?

hello,

I did clean up the surface as you mentioned and only used those stick glues. I will clean it again and try. The PLA is 215/60 default from the printer. I'm not sure on the 7x7 Mesh Bed levelling.
