    In the picture you can see a large green blob, it looks like a cat turd. 3 weeks ago I printed the gray item, its awesome! I tried to do that item again and the circle ended up being a triangle, grrrrr! Im boiling over with frustration and anger at the moment and will soon throw out my printer.
    I have been troubleshooting for 3 days, calibrating, fine-tuning and changing PLA, nothing works :(.
    PLEASE, some one, HELP ME.

    Z offset is too high, filament did not adhere to the bed.

    That might or might not explain some of the other issues, but start there.
    Run the Z offset wizard again and the fine tuning wizard

    I have been doing exactly that for 3 days. The slip of paper is almost stuck under the extruder, I doubt I can position the print bed any closer to the extruder.

    Fine tuning wizard doesn't use paper ... how is that working?
