    ?
    They are what they are :)
    Probably right since you are overall mostly 1 mm or less difference between the highest and lowest.

    The actual values are not terribly meaningful since they are used as part of the formula to map a flat plane.

    I understand , but the problem is still there.
    Yesterday I printed with no issue, and today this first layer problem
    This happens with my first design in Fusion 360 - exported to Cura to create STL file.
    Maybe there is a setting or something to consider on the file rather the printer.

    Well you could try another model then easy enough and see if it still happens.
    If it is not model or slicer related then it is simply one of the Z switches out of position as discussed in the video.

    Better, but it looks like it is still a bit uneven in spots and perhaps a bit too hot.

    The ripples you see on the first layer, typically caused by a partially clogged nozzle. At least in my experience anyways. You may need to increase your Z-Offset ever so slightly.
