Re: printing problems

Looks like the plastic didn't stick well to the bed.  Try re-leveling it.

+1 on levelling (or adding a bonding agent like white glue / water mix - let dry).

I find it useful to print a skirt for the print about 6mm away, as you can then judge the amount of "squish" before you get to the print itself, and whether the squish varies from place to place on the bed.

Nozzle may be to high.  You might also try blue painters tape.  PLA stick to it well (sometimes too well).
