Printer/Equipment help

Can anyone help me? I don't know my printer is not printing correctly. I ran the calibration test, recalibrated XYZ and still looks like this. http://imgur.com/a/Try8V

Did you try to decrease the distance between your nozzle and the bed using the live adjust-z feature while it was printing?

Well, judging from the picture it needs to go a fair bit further down. If this is PLA, there should be no need to use any glue.

I'd try the following

- Thoroughly clean your bed with the included alcohol wipes or Isopropyl alcohol on a paper towel
- Redo a Calibrate Z just for good measure (optional)
- reprint V2calibration
- and while it is printing lower the distance even more using the live adjust-Z.
