First layer won't stick.

I printed a file last night and it printed perfect.  I tried to print the same file again today and it would not stick.  I redid a manual level on the bed and tried printing different files but nothing will stick. I have tried painters tape, glue stick and even and acetone mix. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

    The filament is sputtering.  Why would it be doing this?

    If your filament contains too much water it starts sputtering. You can dry it in a oven at 50°C for a few hours and see if it gets better. Some filaments are very hygroscopic.

    PLA normally sticks well to painters tape and glue stick. Heated bed until 50°C helps. If bed is too hot it does not stick any more.

    I tried all my filaments and they did the same thing. I keep my filaments in a Ziploc bag with the moisture packets. The plastic comes out of the nozzle fine when I load a new filament. All I have is abs.

    Thanks

    I got it working there was something wrong with the software on the printer or on the Raspberry Pi.  Now it working great. Thanks for the help.  I will keep the oven thing in mind.
