Maybe adjust your nozzle a little bit closer to the build-plate? Or make the first layer thinner, for example 0.2mm instead of 0.3mm? And print the first layer slow enough, so the melt has time to spread well?
But it doesn't look too bad to me.
Try settings on a small thin testprint, so you don't waste too much time and material.
My first layers usually look like below: the grey is for standard PLA prints (first layer = 0.2mm, 20mm/s; all other layers 0.1mm and 50mm/s), the green is for tiny PET prints (first layer 0.1mm, 20mm/s; all other layers 0.06mm, 30mm/s). I have the nozzle closer to the bed than standard, so the first layer is squeezed well into the glass.
I'm excited because I've personally produced this showcase event, so if you are curious what else I'm up to nowadays, come check it out and say hi in the chat! It would mean a lot!
