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.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
