may need to increase nozzle temp. What temp you have it set for?

[Lea3DPrint]

Under extrusion. What does the first layer look like on the bed?

[Mavyre]

What are your materials, and what are the exact settings you’re printing with?

[gikam]

change the filament

check the settings for diameter and temperature

This is nothing to do with bed leveling. You’re not getting enough material through the nozzle, but there could be hundreds of reasons. Did it _ever_ work? Start off by printing much slower, maybe increase the flow rate (to 200%, just to see what happens). Check the extruder temperature, check the thermocouple is in the right place.

Hi.

Yes, this really looks like terrible underextrusion. Check the diameter setting in your slicer software and also the temperature. Is the feeder clicking or grinding in the filament? Is the noozle clogged? Which material are you using? For PLA try 200 degree, for PETG try 230.

This is not a leveling issue ;).

Couple questions about your setup: 1. Are you using the original control board? 2. Once you were all setup, did you do any calibration for your steps\mm. 3. What’s your filament type, nozzle temp, and bed temp? 4. What’s your print surface?

Watch video make sure you bolt it down level the x then level the bed

As others mentioned, that’s clearly underextrusion. Check the material diameter in your slicer, it shall be 1.75, then flowrate at 100%. Do a cube and check if there’s overextension. If so, play the multiplier between 85 and 100%. For anet shall be 95-97% for place if it’s a stock and default hardware/settings. Also check that nothing is anoing the filament to get feed. That means the spool and also the nozzle.
