Comment on What's going wrong with my prints?

Other recommendations are great but you could also try some type of adhesive AFTER you’ve eliminated any other potential problem sources.
It does look a over extruded. Have you calibrated your esteps? I always need to do that when changing filament types and sometimes even between rolls of the same filament type (especially bargain bin PLA from amzn)
My ender 3 with a glass bed sticks perfect with PLA. For some reason PLA+ tends to lift. Glue stick helped with PLA+ but I hated dealing with because it REALLY stuck so I switched to masking tape. That does the job and is easier to remove.
That said, I don’t recommend “extra” adhesives unless you’re fully sure you’ve solved any other potential problems. They can be a help/bandaid but if the root cause is something else then you’re just masking it.
Some materials and beds need some help, some don’t. I primarily use PLA and PLA+ with the occasional PETG and TPU.

Useful insight, I’ll try the other suggestions before an extra adhesive though! I still need to get my head around printer settings again as I’ve not used this for a couple of years and my brain has decided to forget that info for other useless things instead.
