<p>This usually happens when your nozzle is too close to bed during the first layer.<br>
  Quick fix is <strong>redo bed levelling</strong>.<br>
  Clean your build surface.<br>
Watch you first layer

You know the very first layer it does around the object. The thin layer. It seems very hard to remove. How can I remove that? It seems like pressed instead of printed

The very first layer it does around the object is called a skirt.
If your build surface if removable then remove it. Use something like a putty knife with a thin and sharp edge to remove the residue particle. Watch [this](https://youtu.be/ECcasNza1Oo)

<p>Most people complain about the filament not sticking on build plate but mine is vice versa. At first it used to be very good. When I removed the magnetic bed the project would come off easily but for a few days it is like I glue it to the bed with epoxy. It is impossible to remove and when I remove the black projects from the bed I see white color at the bottom of the object printed. Maybe because of too much force but I don't know why this happens.</p>

Increase the distance between the nozzle and the bed, for hints see [this answer](/a/13713).
