I have an Ender 3 V2 with a magnetic build plate, the first layer always peels up as it goes and sometimes doesnt even stick. I have a BL touch on it and its leveled after preheating and letting it expand from the heat for a few minutes. My cura settings are from one i found online that are supposed to be the "best" setting for cura

There are a few things you can try to improve first layer adhesion on your Ender 3 V2:

  1. Adjust the bed temperature: You can try increasing or decreasing the bed temperature to see if this helps with adhesion. For PLA, a temperature of around 60-70°C is usually recommended.

  2. Adjust the nozzle height: If your nozzle is too close to the bed, it can cause the filament to bunch up and peel away. Make sure the nozzle is at the right height using the BLTouch and adjust it if necessary.

  3. Clean the build plate: Over time, the magnetic build plate can accumulate oils and debris that can interfere with adhesion. Clean the build plate with soap and water, then let it dry completely before printing.

  4. Use a different adhesive: If none of the above solutions work, you can try using a different adhesive, such as hairspray or glue stick on the build plate to help the filament stick better.

Also, make sure that your printer is not in a drafty area and that the room temperature is not too...

there are no universal best settings, you will have to tune it to your printer. What filament are you using and what bed temp? what nozzle temp? What speed?

I find that with that bed you do sometimes need a bit of glue stick to get prints to stick well
