Just for reference, what sort of plate did you replace it with? I’m waiting on a Creality glass PEI plate that should be here soon and I’m hoping it will be better. Still not sure how this happened in the first place but from what I read it looks like the print head was too close to the plate and it ground PLA into the bed. I was using the same settings as always and I trammed and levelled before my first print. It seems to have done this every time I tried to print this particular object— Is it possible the actual gcode from Cura could cause this?

200°/60°, and my Z offset is -2.71. Is this the same as first layer height?
