First Layer Problems with new hotend

Hello,

please take a look at this image:

I somehow can not get a clean first layer no matter how much I fiddle with the settings.

This is after I exchanged the included hotend with one from e3d. (V6)

Can you please help me find the problem?

I did all the steps in the troubleshooting.

Looks like your nozzle is to close to the bed in a few spots.

But I can vary the distance with life adjust z and the pattern is the same. I can also move the print arround on the board and the pattern stays the same. How can this be because of distance?

Did you try the steps listed here?

If you have drastically different nozzle heights at different locations on the bed, you need to square up your machine.

You should check that your extruder is extruding properly.

Print things from the SD card (like the PRUSA Logo) to see if the issue is your hardware or your slicer settings on your own objects.

Any advices given are offered in good faith. It is your responsibility to ensure that by following my advice you do not suffer or cause injury, damage or loss. If you solve your problem, please post the solution…
