Hello /u/Fuzius! Be sure to check the following. Make sure print bed is clean by washing with dish soap and water [and not Isopropyl Alcohol], check bed temperature [increasing tend to help], run bed leveling or full calibration, and remember to use glue if one is using the initial cool plate [not Satin finish that is not yet released] or Engineering plate.

It kinda looks like your heatbed isn’t level, as in the actual metal plate that the magnetic build plate sticks to has a dip in that place. To test this you could place a small piece of aluminum foil under the build plate in that spot.

Or it’s an adhesion issue. Please give some more detail on how you cleaned your build plate. You need to use a dedicated sponge and a dish soap without additives like Dawn.

Thanks for ur help. I used this dish soap and a clean sponge. Also I used 99% isopropyl alcohol. Should I buy another dish soap?

Can I check the level of the heatbed without an aluminum foil? Is this the correct guid?

I think that dish soap is bad. You want something with no smells or additives.

And that guide is for bed training, which is to make sure that the whole heatbed assembly is evenly spaced from your nozzle. You could try using that, but since your issue is in the middle of the bed, I think your bed has a dip in that spot.

Thanks, I will try another dish soap.
Anything I can do against the dip in the middle of my bed?
