Problems with my 1st print

Hi,

I just bought my Prusa i3 MK2s assembled, delivered yetserday.
Today I tried out my first print as described in the manuel. Unfortunately the outcome is not as expected.

The surface is not flat, but fluted:

At the test at the beginning the outcome is flat, but after some centimeters it get roundede:

For me as a beginner there are to many variables I could change, so I hope someone can give me a hint 🙂

Firmware: 3.0.10
Speed: 100
Flow: 100
Nozzle: 210
Bed: 55
Z: 150

Thanks
Martin

If you haven't found Jeff's excellent thread and instructions here then you should:

http://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/prusa-i3-kit-building-calibrating-first-print-main-f6/life-adjust-z-my-way-t2981.html

Using this method I found my printers sweet spot and it made all the difference being a newbie a few months ago.
