First layer of my part looks bad

[fresh rivet]

Every print I make has a bad first layer, I don't know what settings I need to change to fix this. How do I make the first layer look nicer

Need to relevel your bed

[fresh rivet]

I did that after the first failure and the raft printed out great. It's only the part that failed.

stop using a raft

rafts are cushions for bad leveling

[fresh rivet]

okay, how can I check if the build plate is warped? for future reference.

print a bed level test

Like lightyear said, level your bed, you dont need a raft for that print.
To check print a bed level test

That said, if your first layes is perfect but the problem happen only on thr first layer above the raft, you want tl decrease the raft air gap setting in youe slicer
