What is causing this. It is combine with poor first layer adhesion, which causes many prints to fail at the first layer. I tried so many different things, but it wont stop doing this wabling.

Too close to the build plate.
I tried raising the z-gap, but when doing this i will not get anything to stick to the build plate. Not even the first line
try baby step while printing.
Then that’s your real problem. Try cleaning your build plate with dish soap and water.
A bit higher and wash that bee good. If its really old wires 4/0 or finer grade steel wool can also be used sparcely
So i might have the solution: I am currently testing it out. I switched from pure ethanol to some isopropylalcohol with additives some time ago. I just checked the new isopropyl-bottle and there are some tensides in the new bottle. This might have caused very poor adhesion which then caused me to lower the nozzle in order to get better adhesion.
Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.
Here are a few questions that might be helpful
What printer are you using?
What material are you using?
What speed are you printing at?
What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?
When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?
Does anything cause the behavior to change?
If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)
