Sorry for all the newbie posts, but thank you in advance.

I wondered what everyone made of this picture.

Any ideas why the first layer appears to be showing varying thicknesses?

It seemed to print fine especially since this layer was the bottom of the part so it won’t be seen anyway. Just worried I’ve got some settings wrong somewhere.

Hi friend,  
Does the issue happen each time? If it happens each time, try to replace a hotend and then test again.  
Or if you print a smaller printing, will the issue be gone?  
Can you share the printing settings that you set up?
