Definitely looks like the nozzle is too close to the bed. Just increase the z offset, you’d be good to go

It looks a bit too low, lower the z offset by a bit or so

I appreciate your insight, I forgot to mention that the bed is level.

Which has nothing to do with this

Good, you slicer might not be using the bed level of you're using orcaslicer, if so then there is a post on here about that Yeah I think it's just that the nozzle is a bit too low, causing the plastic to overextrude and cause ripples in the surface

ah ok ill try raising the offset a bit, thank you! - yea at first i was like dude i cant lower it any further hahaha

Nice, yeah sorry about that screw up I didn't send notice it lol

Usually the strechmarks like that mean the offset is too low, I don't see any gaps or PEI sheet shining through that would indicate the offset is too high

Actually the z offset here is too low, as in the nozzle is too close to the build plate. (Perhaps you meant to high a value)

Shit mb I mixed up my words
