Something went wrong within the last two weeks with the Cura software. I have been printing letters for felt letterboards and successfully got 2 sets printed before the letters started coming out wacky. The problem is on the first layer (the one everyone will see) and it's like its not filling it in properly. I am using two different Creality ender 3's and I have been leveling the bed in between prints so I don't think it's a machine problem. I have been trying to play around with settings in Cura but nothing I change is helping. I don't know which settings would even help this problem and which are irrelevant. What I was using and what was working before something went weird: PLA- bed temp 50, extruder temp 205. Print speed 60 mm/s, layer height 0.25mm, everything else was set at calculated.
