Wavy first layer

I'm having issues with a wavy first layer when printing. Any ideas to fix this?
Thanks:
Scott

Re: Wavy first layer

pictures would help...

however if the first layer has ripples like the marks in the sand as the tide goes our, your nozzle is too low, adjust live Z to reduce the negative value of live Z...

you can do this while printing a sample first layer...

if liveZ is currently say 0.750mm. try reducing it to 0.700mm and re start the first layer print, if you still get ripples, reduce live Z further
