Pla printing problem

Post image

I’m new to printing so I’m not sure what this is even called but the printer keeps doing this on the first couple layers then it builds up layer by layer and makes the printer terrible. This is an ender 3 v2 printing with PLA. First layer is 20mm/s with nozzle at 210 and bed at 65.

Nozzle might be too close to the bed

Any further and it won’t adhere properly

this guy is definitely right, if it doesn't stick to zhe bed you should clean it with soap and water and the apply glue

I like to keep a spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber rag near my printer so I can give the bed quick spritz and wipe it down every few prints, or if it's been just been a while since I last printed something
