As others have said 80 sounds excessive for PLA - one thing to think about is whether the top surface has actually reached a nice even 80 by the time it tries to print the first layers though, depending on glass thickness and heater size.
Edit to add: Ah I just spotted you were running less than 80 and have upped to 70. But the point still stands for whatever target temperature you're aiming at

I have set 70c for the first layer only, it drops back to 60 after that. I am using the Prusa slicer.

It's still too much for PLA. Use the default 60C throughout on a clean platter and see how that goes.

70/75degC here for PETG.
I use the creality bed in reverse with a quick squirt of 3D laq.
However I have today purchased 5 rolls of PeTG at a special price from 3DQF as they have fitted a new line and can now do PETG and ABS as well as PLA.
2 rolls 13.99 each delivered.
So.i will let you know how it prints... not sure how long the introductory discount will last BTW.
80c bed and 235c for nozzle. Worked well. Excess heat welcome this time of year

60⁰c bed temp for PLA
80⁰c bed temp for PETG
I don't use a brim or raft, just a 3 pass skirt
Slicer is Cura
Glass bed, light dusting of 3dlac and away I go
Every few prints it will get a clean with hot soapy water if I'm in the mood, rinse well, air dry and it's good to go again

Same for me but never used PETG up to now.

It's caused by an overactive fart gland I believe.Is that why my brother's farts smell so bad when he has had chips?

Personally I don't lower the temp out of fear of it causing detachment and just keep initial 60C throughout. I did run table too cool at 40C and used UHU stick glue. I think it was @ajlelectronics who put me right about using 60C a good while back.
I've got a few designs on Myminifactory, Cults and Makerbot nothing magnificient....although my snowman seems to be in demand for some reason?
Or Olympic..It's caused by an overactive fart gland I believe.

I was printing with ABS for the first time at the weekend - what a faff. My Ankermake M5 has been fantastic on PLA and never missed a beat - I've had PLA prints fail due to my incompetence (not realising PLA needs to be kept dry, and that you can't just leave the spool to unwind) but the printer has never failed on it's own.
With ABS, though, I'd find that if it survives the first 4-5 layers while it's building the brim then the print will be fine but 2/3 of the prints end up as rubber bands before it gets there. Been going with 260/110 for the first ten layers then 240/100 for the rest. Results are good, if a little rough compared to PLA.
It's for a high(ish) temperature enclosure hence why I didn't want to use PLA or PETG, but the ABS spool will be going in the cupboard and hopefully never used again after this project!

I got the 3D printer with the sole purpose of producing casting patterns for metal.....then I dawdled too long. Still to produce one....Ah Well!
That should say Ozempic.
You need to make slurry out of Acetone and white ABS.
Paint it on and let it dry.
That will at least give you a fighting chance.
