    There’s grease from fingers and the first layer calibration done wrong.

    Put dish soap and water into a spray bottle and use that mixture with fresh paper towel(s) to clean the bed. IPA doesn’t really work as it evaporates quickly and mostly just moved that grease around.

    Also check if the bed is straight as it’s Creality.

      That last bit, as the proud owner of a Ender 3 V2 I can confirm the bed isn’t as level as one would like… And mine is glass 🙃

      I didnt know about the soapy water cleaning, thanks.

        Do you have a ruler or something else that’s straight for sure that you could to pull on the top of the bed (possibly with some power) to see if the bed actually is even close to straight? If its a wave like it looks like it is then you shoul really replace it.

        Seriously tho Creality is known from these problems.

          I have recently bought a new printer but I’m going to work on the Ender after the Holiday’s and get it back to working order. I am hopeful I can turn it into a constant printing machine that auto ejects completed parts. Definetly need a new bed because right now its glass.
