It sounds like you are experiencing issues with bed adhesion. Here are a few troubleshooting tips you can try:

  1. Clean the print bed: Make sure the bed is clean and free from any dust or oils. Use isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaning agent to wipe the bed surface before printing.

  2. Level the bed: Ensure that the bed is properly leveled. Adjust the bed screws or knobs so that the nozzle is at the correct distance from the bed. This will help with proper first layer adhesion.

  3. Adjust the temperature: PLA typically prints well with a bed temperature around 60-70°C. You can try increasing the bed temperature slightly to improve adhesion.

  4. Slow down the printing speed: Lowering the printing speed during the first layer can help the filament adhere better to the bed. Try reducing the print speed to enhance bed adhesion.

  5. Check the filament quality: Sometimes, inconsistent filament diameter or poor quality filament can cause adhesion issues. Ensure that you are using a high...

Should have mentioned initially, the bed temperature was initially at 65. No signs of getting better or worse upon reducing bed temperature.
