    I have tried hairspray and glue stick and neither seem to work for this print. It is just a cylindrical tube so it is not a very complex print, but the print doesn't ever make it past the first two layers. I have tried slowing down the speed of movement for the extruder, speeding up the extruding speed of the filament and nothing is working. please help with any ideas for this issue, I have not had it before this print on this printer.

    What is the fail? Coming off the bed? I'd imagine a Z offset issue (the distance of your nozzle from the bed on the first layer)

    Assuming that first picture (image2 (1).jpeg) is the first layer, then yes ... @Geof has you covered. Your Z offset is way, way too low.

    Might be a dumb question, but how much would you think I need to offset the z axis?

    so the first layer looks good now to this so thank you! but now the second layer isn't sticking, it almost looks like the first layer used to
