Fast answer
A rough first layer usually means the nozzle is too close, flow is too high, the bed is uneven, or the first layer speed and temperature are not tuned.
Look at the first failed area, the material, and the slicer profile before changing settings.
Check filament dryness, nozzle temperature, bed setup, belts, and the profile baseline.
Use a small calibration print so you can see which change actually improves the result.
