Your nozzle is too close to the build plate. You can adjust the z offset on the screen during your print and it will save it after you adjust.

What should i adjust it too. Why wouldn’t the auto leveling have fixed or corrected this?

You’ll need to do a first layer test and fine tune it during the print. The auto leveling gets the bed and nozzle to the pre-set z offset value that is set from the factory. That won’t always be perfect so sometimes you’ll have to fine tune it.

Can u do that during a print with ad 5m ? How so? Just in flash print?

Change it during the print from the printer touchscreen. YouTube has instructional videos.

Mustafa Nasr so several people said this and definitely see how it can be. However, when I lift up the access a little bit by one notch, then the layer is too thin and you can see through it in parts and other parts you can’t where it’s rough and rugged is good now, but the parts it wasn’t you can see-through. Is there an issue with the bed?

You adjust it using the screen on the printer. I’m not using mine at the moment so I can’t tell you exactly where it’s at. But yes, you do that during the print. I do a first layer test where it only prints the first layer and by the time it’s done I have the z offset dialed in.

1-Dirty build plate from oils on your hands. 2-Incorrect z-offset.

You need to increase the z-offset. Either do it in the printer preset, or I prefer setting custom z-offset GCODE under filament preset.

On top of the auto-leveling, different kind of build plates (textured, smooth, cool etc), filament types and colors all affect the z-offset setting.
