Print bed

The extruded filament will not adhere to the print bed. It just gathers around the extruder. can anyone help me with this?

make sure the distance between the nozzle and bed after homing is proper, usually it is the thickness of a normal paper. And use some glue or tape on the bed, it will be better.

I have some problem with the bed , it is no flat enough, is more concave both the hot bed and the aluminium plate. that is mean even if I calibrate the four corner at the same distance from the extruder, in the center the distance is bigger .

Can someone help me with this?

Clamp a glass on the bed so it will be flat enough.

I had the same problem with ABS curling arround the extruded after hours of trial and error I was able to solve the problem by reducing the speed to 67 and I made sure that my bed temp 110 and extruded temp at 260 for the first 2 layers and it worked for me after almost 8 hours of hard trying
Note I'm using PET tape glued on the aluminum bed

I have the same problem with my G2S
The bed default temp is 55 and you push it up to 110?
What is PET tape?

My head goes down to 1 sheet of paper sliding with effort when at 0. How do you calibrate it : free, tight, unmovable?
Is it really important that M114 shows 0? My best result was -0.09

Thanks for your help
