Every time I print a large area I get the pattern in the middle.

pattern on first layer

Below picture was taken during printing. The material isn't evenly laid flat on the bed and some are being scraped up.

It appears from some centimeters away from the edge and extends perpendicular to the nozzle moving direction.

during print

The pattern appears at the similar position when I print the same model again.

It's a delta printer. Print PETG on glass bed at 75 °C.

Update:

After adjusting delta height to add clearance, the first layer is super clean without any wave.

The wavy lay down on the first layer usually indicates one of two problems:

  • The first layer is badly calibrated (too much distance, laying down in waves or too little, squeezing out in waves).
  • The plastic doesn't stick to the bed well enough.
