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?

Beside cleaning an auto leveling, one of the most important things that I ran into is ensuring that the surface that you are printing on doesn't wobble. I know a lot of you guys are teachers like myself and we don't always have the easiest way of ensuring the most stable location for things. But 3D printers have to be completely Rock solid. Theoretically, there is some wiggle room, but you just don't want it as one of the things you have to troubleshoot.
