What am I doing wrong with my Ender 3
I have had my Ender 3 for about 2 weeks now. It was a pretty easy setup and after a few learning curves my prints started turning out good. I have added the Creality Glass bed, and some of the recommended print upgrades. now what am printing I keep having these same problems.
Print Settings
Nozzle .4mm
Layer Height .2mm
Wall Thickness 1.5mm
Infill 10%
Print Temp 200
Bed Temp 70
Retraction 5mm
Print speed 40mm/s

Picture 1. Is this normal for the brom to be "loose" like this?

Picture 2. You can slightly see how some of the layers are offset from the rest, and then it seem to correct itself. You can also see how the brim is starting to come up.

Picture 3. Here the sides of the actually print are coming up.

Picture 5. This is the other side of the same print. the whole thing is suppose to be the same thickness, but as you can see it tapers off.
Thanks for your help

what have you added to the glass bed ?
ie: are you actually printing on the glass ?
Which you're not really supposed to do, a glass bed is used somply because it's usually flatter than the original aluminium one.
Basically all your problems are the same one - prints not sticking to the bed.
So what are you using on the glass ?

I have been using hair spray. I have had the glass bed since day 3, and this only started to happen yesterday

I figured it out. I was leveling the bed with a piece of paper and making it so that the paper was barely touching(per a YT video) I read a few other things that said it should be really tight so i adjusted that way and now it works like a champ.

Yea, that 1st picture just screams z height adjustment. The 1st layer has to squish between the bed and nozzle to adhere properly, otherwise its just printing thin strings of spaghetti into thin air.
However the tapering isn't totally explained by this as it seems you may not be getting bed adhesion this would only affect the first few layers. Unless there was a huge amount of filament getting pulled around by the print head that didn't get included in the print itself.
I'm using the Ender3 also - how much do you enjoy the glass bed upgrade? I'm torn between upgrading the FW and BLtouch sensor to get mesh bed leveling or simply just get a glass bed.

I think it?s a good upgrade. I have been thinking about the bltouch or ezabl. I just haven?t decided which one yet
Printer will print perfect...
