I think I am having the same problem. Does it seem like your extruder is melting the plastic too much to where it's stringing real bad on the first layer? Are you also getting stringing really bad in the middle of your print too? I just got an UM3 so I have only used Cura 2.5
Well at least you have a good first layer!
I have a UM3e that I've had since Jan so I have used both 2.4 and 2.5 Cura software. I don't think it's too hot, especially since it's pretty far down on the low end of the temperature specs of the PLA. It's almost as if the nozzle is dragging on the bed, but I'm not sure what would cause it to spontaneously start doing that and I've done active leveling a few times.
What I think I'm going to do today:
- downgrade to 2.4 and see if that works
- manually level and see if that works
- switch to the extra hot end that came with my printer and see if that works
- curse and stomp my feet
- call customer support
