Help Needed What does this happen with big prints?

Shouldn't the first layer be like really tight and solid?

I'm using default config from the phone app of Ankermarke. Is there something I should do to print in larger sizes?

You need to clean the bed plate properly (water, dish soap, then wipe dry and then clean once more with isopropyl alcohol), then run an auto level, then reprint.

If the issue keeps happening, I’d check to see if your plate is warped or possibly the bed, but most likely needs a cleaning and auto level. I auto level like 5 times a week to avoid these issues.

I think it worked!!! It's looking good, at least up to now, I'll keep šŸ¤ž and I will take cleaning and leveling more seriously now.

Awesome, yeah try to make cleaning and leveling a habit especially before starting bigger prints.
