After a few hours of tinkering with temp and z-offset this is the best I could get. It is supposed to print with normal pla settings but those won’t stick to the bed at all. I have been cleaning the build plate with isopropyl alcohol regularly and can’t seem to get a decent first layer

It sounds like you may be experiencing adhesion issues with your print bed. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try:

  1. Make sure your print bed is leveled properly. Use a sheet of paper or a feeler gauge to adjust the height of the print bed at each corner until it's at the right distance from the nozzle.

  2. Try using a different type of bed adhesion method, such as a glue stick or a specific 3D printing bed adhesive like PEI sheets or BuildTak.

  3. Check the nozzle temperature to ensure it's correct for the type of PLA you're using.

  4. Slow down the initial layer speed to allow for better adhesion.

If these steps don't solve the issue, feel free to provide more details for further assistance.

have you calibrated the filament?

#

clean print bed with washing up liquid and water not isopropyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol just moves the dirt around
