    Rough first few layers!

    Hi, thanks for letting me join this forum.I'm very new to 3D printing. I have a flashforge Adventurer 3 printer and whilst when i first used it all was OK but just lately a problem has occurred! I am getting rough edges on the first few layers, I feel sure it's something I have altered but have no idea what. I have attached a picture to show the problem I am getting. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.

    is that the layer it starts the print from? The bottom layer?

    looks like the nozzle is slightly too close to the print bed.
    does the calibration happen automatically or do you have to trigger it ?
    looks like it's not calibrated properly.

    I'd increase the z-gap by 0.1mm - but not sure how you do it with your slicer software.
