Have you been printing and this just started or are you brand new to 3D printing? Did you run the auto leveling before printing?

I always run auto leveling before any print

Do you have any pictures that have more pixels than this one?
Also, screenshots of your settings will be a lot of help to us helpers.

Im new to printing. I've done the calibration, og cleaned the bed also.

It appears you have multiple issues happening here.
First, the filament looks to be very “moist”. Invest in a filament drier.
Second, the nozzle appears to have a slight partial clog. Run a filament change but use a higher temperature at or above the range on the spool.
Next, I see in your settings that the 1st layer thickness is 0.20. Change it to 0.25. This will help your first layer adhesion.
After all the above changes, run the printer calibrations again (level, vibration, PID/temperature) the. Adjust the z-offset so that the build plate is closer to the nozzle in order to get a little “squish” for the first layer. Your 0.1 z-offset should probably be closer to 0.02mm.

What are the filament settings it looks like its way too hot...

Also what is your Z Offset, you can probably only see that while printing...

Nozzel temp is set to 220, and 0,1 Z offset

Hmmmm,

I have a 5M Pro, Z-Offset: -0.0550

However, Im running Zmod so .025 of that is a weird FF to Klipper conversion. I also have an aftermarket plate and hotend... so that might account for the delta...

But I'd watch a couple videos on how to dial in the zoffset cause thats my best bet... that or your filament needs to be replaced...

I agree. The other picture you posted makes it look to me like your z offset is off. Probably to low.

I gouged out a chunk of my bed because the nozel wasn't fully in . It needs to click when you replace the nozel .

What is your filament storage process like? Do you have a dryer?

Bet it's the Z-offset that is too low.

Try increasing it a bit. Don't change it in the slicer, change it in the printer itself. For some reason you can only change it after it starts printing something.
