Wavey first layer and wierd layer artifacts

Hi, i have been trying to callibrate the my v-core 4 500 for the pas week or so, and this is as good i as i can get on my own, so now im seeking help to understan what i need to do to fix these problems. I have tried several diffrent things o for the first layer problem BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE BEACON_FINAL_CALIBRATION shaper_calibrate BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION and a nozzle probe mesh but nothing seems to work, i have played with the z-offset manually while printing but when i go to save and start a new print it defaults back to the wobbely offset, i belive what is happening is that the nozzle has abit to high z-offset. I have aslo tried to do a nozzle and bed heat soak for abit more then an hour, and then doing the beacon mesh calibration but that dosent seem to work ether and for the walls i have tested a few diffrent tempetures for the hotend and diffrent pcf speeds, i have also tested to dry the fillament for more then 48h. but i seem to be stuck on something and im not sure what. im useing copymaster pla any help appreciated

it's difficult to see, but I am estimating that your nozzle is too close to the bed for the first layer. Try something like this: https://www.printables.com/model/251587-stress-free-first-layer-calibration-in-less-than-5

that's significantly too close, you need to re-tune your z-offset - your nozzle is too close to your bed. The idea while printing this file is that you change the Z offset for every section, so you can see when the Z-offset becomes good and save that configuration.

Hello sorry for a rellly late reply but i have been trying for the past weeks to fix this i have chated with others but i cant seem to figgure it out its still wayve if i go any further up in the zoffset it gets string. on smaller scale it looks decent but as soon as i try any bigger it looks bad.

this is a big difficult to see, looks like you used a different geometry. But I would say that the lower section (marked green) looks good, while the rest (marked red) looks like the nozzle is too close to the bed. did you change the Z-offset during this print?
