Ok, here comes the venting:

I just spent 3 solid hours messing with this printer. I leveled it, leveled it some more, auto leveled it, and then printed the bed leveling test squares to dial it in as good as I could get it. It was almost perfect looking...

Decided to do a Benchy first layer test print - looked like garbage!

Decided to do a 4 corners and center square leveling test print and it FAILED!

Reprinted the first bed leveling test print and everything was off again already...

Re-leveled everything and it's looking like garbage again.

Chatted with Creality - their answer: take the printer apart completely and clean everything.... Inside and out. Put it back together and make sure everything is square and level. You know, because that won't void the warranty or anything.

Is it still not sticking?

I just changed all my POM rollers last night, over 1700hr pint time now. I had to set my offset and level things again, bump my nozzle just a tiny bit closer in the end.

I dreaded it but it was fairly easy.

I can't say anything to this except sorry that you're dealing with it. Sending good vibes.
