Hi, yesterday printed all day long PETG with no issue.
Reverting to PLA today and got this bad first layers.
Of course already done auto level with the bed in working temperature .
K1C, new , started printing last week
Suggestions?

Hmm. Slow down. Maybe the first layer needs additional layers, maybe two or three layers, and a finely tuned heated bed. Just a wild guess here.
Did you change PETG to PLA in the GUI too?
H, I’ll try slowing down.
I used auto leveling bed at 50 celsius and I have this result in the mesh, what is your opinion about it?
I changed from PETG to PLA in the slicer
A-Okay about the change in the slicer. I think I am without opinion. I know nothing about their firmware or the algorithm(s) they use. But…
I can say that my bed states it is not 100% level when running auto level or it used to say that to me as output when attempting the auto level function.
In Options under the Gear Icon is a z_axes adjustment that can be made during printing.
I mean…the icon states that it can only be done when printing. Maybe making adjustments could help too. I never really got into the auto level in the printing functions. So, I am unaware of them currently.
Here is where it states the z-axis data: Gear Icon >> Expert Mode
I am sure if we search Klipper docs and if Creality makes their builds Open Source again, searching the correct parameters may prove valuable (maybe). Oh and by the way, nice print.
The software has a great deal of tolerance in regards to the mesh. To get a better idea, lower the slider on the top right (Red) until parts of your mesh disappear, likewise raise the Blue one. The distance then is your real representation of the variance of the bed.
Don’t just use the numbers on the side as the entire range, it’ll give you fits.
Hope it helps!
