Adhesion/too low/too high?

I have no clue what's doing this. I'm putting on enough glue. It's a Robo 3D R1Plus. Is it too high to too low?

It looks like it's a bit too high in that corner.

In general - too high = not sticking, too low = no plastic coming out of nozzle/scraping the bed

It looks like your Z-offset is too high. You need to go into processes---> Scripts tab----> Starting Scripts, you need to make your Z offset closer to the bed

Example

G28 ; home all axes
G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm
M565 Z-.80 ; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism
G29 ; run auto-level

my offset is -.8 if you needed it to move closer to the bed you would increase that number. To get it further away you would lower that number.

you can get a close idea of what your offset is when you run the G29 command. Look at the readouts if your getting .25-.50 you would have a smaller offset then say 1.2-1.4

Your first layer you should set to have some skirts. Skirts allow you to get proper flow going before your print starts. I would use 3 or 4 for small parts and 1-2 for big parts.
