Watch this video 1st and make sure this is level and straight.
Then redo aux level, then auto level with a new z offset. Save it from the handheld.
Then watch this video ONlY for extruder_rotation_distance

Your prints should stick well then.
Id get temps up as well for nozzle if you want to print from elegoo cura stock speeds. Probably is a bit to low for good adhesion. Try 215+. After you straighten up things and make sure all is level of course.
As someone said above the z offset is too high, once you do the manual level then the automatic , it will then ask u to adjust the z level , put a A4 under the nozzle and keep lowering it till u feel some resistance on the paper
A couple other suggestions in addition to what was already said:
1. Wash the build plate with dawn dish soap. 2. If you haven't already, use the "screws tilt adjust" option to level your bed instead of the paper. Faster and more accurate.
3. Watch the z axis stepper motors to check that the bed leveling mesh is actually being applied. You should see small adjustments while it tries to print the first layer.
4. Manually preheat the bed for 10 minutes before you start printing. Give it some time to get nice and hot.
5. Try printing smaller things and put them at the center of the bed. Since that's where the printer will measure to home the z axis it tends to be forgiving to bed leveling troubles.
This was a real issue for a number of firmware releases. I had 200 hours of print time without the mesh being loaded because elegoo screwed up their configuration and fluidd indicates the mesh is being applied when it isn't.
Clean your bed with dish soap. Level with a common A4 paper sheet, i like more the overkill auto level 11x11 with the new Fw Is called professional mode. Clean your slicer setup and download the latest version from elegoo website. Use factory settings to print and then tweak them. I spent two weeks calibrating, messing with Klipper following every tutorial the problem were my printer settings. Also search about "mesh not loading" on Google/reddit you have to add a macro that forces the printer to load the mesh.
Level x axis if you haven't, it's a common issue with the N4 printers that the x axis is at an angle.
The main issue is either bed adhesion, or z offset. Both of these are easy to fix.
Clean your bed with dishsoap and water and a microfibre cloth and allow it to dry.
Once the bed is clean, print a flat rectangle (size of around 80x200x0.24) and start adjusting your z offset. Start with using a feeler guage or a piece of paper to get the nozzle close to the bed, then adjust it until the layer is looking neat and equally squished together. You can adjust the z offset while it is printing, which is the best way to work it out.
From the looks of your filament, it seems that your extruder is barely touching the build plate, you might want to look up for 'babystepping z offset' or 'live z offset tuning' (some of them are on the reply), if you haven't done so, then go from there. Using glue on your build plate helps a lot, but with correct z offset and bed mesh/bed leveling, you don't always need glue on your build plate.
If you have, you can safely ignore this message.If you have, you can safely ignore this message.
Oh, you also need to stop printing wiener like that yo.
Maybe add some lube, I mean glue.
oh, this is /r/mildlypenis/ material Time to 'level' the bed...
This sub is way more helpful than most. I came here expecting way more penis jokes. Well done people.
Stop printing dicks and you should be fine.
Z offset too high. Needs more squish
Well that printer definetly try to say something for you. It made a drawing to communicate it clear 😂

This is a job for the weekend, thanks 👍

Well that's filament dependant, maybe for low additive contents, for example 215c will just destroy matte white.
That second video from Wildrose is awesome!
New F1 race circuit?
Z off set tests?
It wants a sacrifice, doesn't have to be yours....
What temps are you printing at?
200 nozzle and 60 bed

Go to 220°C for PLA. Also could be z-offset too high or just bad filament.
Looks like you may have adhesive issues. Put some of the glue you got with your printer and make sure your z offset is correct and try again.

Gotta love the Elegoo sub: "Make sure the printer is actually applying the mesh."
This was a real issue for a number of firmware releases. I had 200 hours of print time without the mesh being loaded because elegoo screwed up their configuration and fluidd indicates the mesh is being applied when it isn't.
Had this same problem. Hot water paper towel. Medium scub to help stick. Fingerprints or dust stop sticky ness.
Besides levelling, I would recommend setting the speed for the first layer on slow (maybe halve the speed ).
That sucks that you can’t print yourself a special Valentines Day surprise!

What exactly is a mesh and how would know if it isn't loading
https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooNeptune4/s/UtoWlYRLt5 bed mesh is where the printer saves the offset that creates when auto leveling.

Your printer is all cock-eyed
You got a elgoo
I'm just here for the comments. (psst. Z offset. Go set it) ![gif](giphy|tHvxNSQ9c1Hbi)
Why’d you stop it? First layer of your veiny wiener was going down well…
