Ok. Then it is likely that your problem will go away as soon as you solve the problem with the first layer…

What happends if you move the object to another part of the buildplate?  
What printer are you using? Dual or single extruder?

yeah funny I tried moving it to be right under the filament feed but I had major problems with it not sticking to the bed. Had to wonder if the bed temp was uneven.  
I am using a single extruder A350

Ok. I would recommend cleaning the bed surface with isopropyl alcohol or soap and water. Then heat the bed to printing temperature and let it stay heated for 20-30 minutes. Then do a calibration with as many probing points as possible. Then try to print a good looking first layer. You might have to fine adjust the z-offset to get a good result…
