Loaded your STL into Orca slicer and it appears you have two STL's one on top of the other.
Most FDM filament is not recycleable it seems, so chuck it in the trash bin.
I've been using the same rough side PEI sheet for two years now and have just done the following.....
Check bed level.
Clean bed with IPA on a paper towel.
Print five or more 50mm square files...
If you have an enclosed printer ASA would be a good choice, or possibly ASA-X. Also because of the nozzle temp around 250 you really need an all metal hot end with a heat break in it.
There should be a setting in your slicer that tells the extruder not to travel over printed parts.
That might help.
Could be the nozzle is too close to the bed.....perhaps adjust the "z" offset in +0.02 increments.
Print a bed leveling test to check.
Clean extruder filament gear teeth for ground filament....
Try a search on YouTube for Bed levelling and First layer problems, loads of videos on the subject showing what the problems are and the solutions.
Try a bed levelling test, possible the 'Z'...
I'm no expert by any means, but for what it's wortrh......Try ORCA slicer and use the X-CF pro profiile in it with a generic PLA profile and just print the flow test in the calibration menu.
Might...
From the photos it looks like you are using the smooth side of the PEI bed sheet, if so, try the rough side and re level the bed or use some glue stick if it's the smooth side.
Just a...
Perhaps manually transfer the settings from your current slicer into ORCA slicer as a start. bit tedious, but one way to make your own slicer profile.
Also look on YouTube for over and under...
Which printer are you using?
Just a suggestion.........
Check your extruder 'e' steps and try ORCA slicer, it has some built in calibration files that you just have to print.
If your filament is ground in half, check the fteeth on the extruder are not clogged up needing to much pressure on the filament.
Check for a clogged nozzle.
Try a different spool of filament to...
Loads of info on YouTube.

and many more. Just search 3D printing.
Just my opinion.......
I think the nozzle is too close to the bed, try increasing the 'Z' offset in +0.02mm increments and print one of the many bed leveling STL files on such as Prusa Printables....
If you are new to 3D printing perhaps try the standard 0.4mm nozzle initially.
I think that you are under extruding, jmo.
Basically you are trying to extrude a lot of molten plastic with a...
I've got Pronterface but it doesn't work on OS 13 on a Macbook.
Does anyone know of any other software like Pronterface that will run on a Mac? I don't want to go down the Octoprint/Raspberry...
Did your printer come with ready made slicer profile for whatever slicer software that came with it?
If it did, then try your print using the same settings, and a raft shouldn't really be...
Try flipping the spool 180 degrees so that it feeds from underneath and not on top.
Perhaps see if you can use a bowden tube from the extruder to where the filament enters the printer, or better still, as close to the reel as possible.
Probably need a loop upwards from the reel...
Guessing here......
Could be filament trapped under another winding on the reel, also check the route of the filament from the reel to the extruder.
In the pic it looks like filament is being...
I'm only using plus 0.01 'Z' offset on my printer.
Have you used the automatic bed levelling procedure that requires initially using the supplied gauge to get the nozzle height?
Get the bed...
I suppose only people who actually have the same printer with the same problem could answer that !!!
I only use a USB thumb drive on mine, perhaps email Qidi at the email address on the side of...
I'm guessing that you used Ideamaker slicer not that it should matter.
I loaded your 3mf file into Prusaslicer and it shows that it has 4044 open edges, floating bridge anchors, loose extrusions...
You could also try increasing nozzle temp by 5 degrees.
Perhaps you could have a look at Prusa slicer, there is a configuration profile for your printer in it.
