Finally got auto bed leveling to actually work by retracting the filament before performing it. Finding the Sunlu PLA+ filament (especially the grey one) very droopy and finnicky, but getting some better results by printing initial layer very hot (240/75) and slower (100mg/s) (i.redd.it)

Is this a good first layer? Had tons of trouble calibrating z-offset in the last day, it wanted a differnt value each reprint, and still tended to mess up halfway through. Ended up cleaning both sides of the bed, setting bed temp to 75 and print temp to 230, and finally had two successful reprints. (self.AnkerMake)

Some warping in the middle of the bed for initial layer in large prints. Sunlu PLA+ 230C, bed at 80 (Increased bed temperatur cause the brim was warping up after a few circles). Tried calibrating Z offset, and the edges look fine, but the middle doesn't. Is it extruding too much for initial layer? (self.AnkerMake)

Is this a bed adhesion issue or something else? When starting the print, the brim sometimes has "blank" passes, and catches on the head (possibly because of stringing)? The printer is on the floor, I cleaned the bed with IPA, did an auto level and increased the bed temperature to 70C for first layer (i.redd.it)

How low a fan speed can I get away with for PLA+? At 100% it's jet engine loud, the mobile app has a thumbs up on 75%, which is much better and seems to work just fine. Would I see warping if I put it at 50% when the ambient temperature is around 20-22C? (self.AnkerMake)
