Cant print a first layer correctly
As the title suggests, I'm having trouble getting my first layer to adhere effectively to my build plate. There's often a corner or a straight line that lifts because the nozzle always drags the plastic.
I have leveled my bed three times, but if I increase the Z-offset, the plastic does not adhere at all. If I decrease it further, I get a really messy first layer.
I have cleaned my build plate with alcohol and redone my mesh bed leveling. I have reduced the print speed for my first layer to 30mm/s, with an acceleration of 500mm/s. I am printing with PLA at 220 degrees Celsius. I have a Rapido hotend with a 0.4mm nozzle and an LGX Lite extruder.
Bed at 68. I use superslicer. Already clean with soap.

It's not exactly a solution to your problem, but to me it seems like you can improve your mesh by adjusting your frame. Your Y-axis rails are not parallel, but if you lower your front right a tiny bit I think, and/or raise the front left a tad, your mesh will get better.
I think I got something, I sandblasted me print surface.
