I've had my printer (Ender 3 V1 Pro) for about a year now, and I've gotten a mix of print results. Some prints have worked perfectly fine, while others refuse to print, seemingly impossible to print. I just switched over from Cura's slicer to Creality with a friend's recommendation, and I haven't really noticed a difference while printing large prints. I've also noticed a number of errors come from large prints, while small prints seem to do ok at times. I've already leveled the bed, cleaned it, checked all measurements and numbers. I'm using the recommended heat (PLA) and its still spotty. I've seen a number of different issues including adhesion issues, leading to strings off filament being dragged across the bed, ruining the print. In the photo posted, I'm trying to print an M113 but end up with a mess, just for the thin layer to get stuck to the bed. It sticks but it doesn't???? It would make more sense if every print failed, but I just printed a knight piece for DND, and it turned out perfect. I've tried everything and have gotten no where. Please Help.
#First Layer wont print correctly

Based on the description and the photo provided, it seems like you're facing issues with bed adhesion. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to improve adhesion and prevent the print from detaching from the bed:
-
Ensure your bed is leveled properly. An uneven bed can lead to adhesion problems. Make sure all corners and the center of the bed are at the correct height.
-
Clean the bed surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaning solution. Oils, dust, or debris might hinder adhesion.
-
Use a proper adhesive. Applying a thin layer of glue stick, hairspray, or using a specialized bed adhesive like a PEI sheet or a BuildTak surface can help with adhesion.
-
Ensure your bed and nozzle are properly heated. ABS filament, for example, often requires a heated bed to prevent warping. Check the recommended temperature for your filament.
-
Adjust the initial layer settings. You can increase the initial layer height slightly to improve adhesion. Also, make ...
