    Suggestion........

    Print some random one layer thick 50mm squares at 0.2mm layer height. Examine the result.

    Then increase or decrease the 'Z' offset in 0.01mm incriments at a time and check...

    Just be aware that a hardened steel nozzle might cause problems for normal plastic filament, if it does, just fit a normal brass nozzle.
    I believe it's to do with the friction of the hardened...

    You can cut a piece of new teflon tube, make sure the cut is at 90 degrees at the end and a snug fit against the nozzle.

    Ideally you need to convert to a bi-metal hotend with a heat break above...

    Does the extruder have a teflon tube between the exruder and the nozzle?

    If it does is there any sign of degradation? Also check that the end is cut square and fits snugly up to the nozzle.

    just suggestions.....

    Check extruder teeth are clean and not filled with filament.
    Do a cold pull to clear the nozzle of any old filament.

    Does the new hotend have a thermal break in it or does the teflon tube actually contact the nozzle?
    If the latter is the case, printing at 250 will more than...

    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.
  13. Could be the nozzle is too close to the...

    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....

    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....
