    I've adjusted my z offset a few times and thought I had it set correctly, however, all of my recent prints have been EXTREMELY difficult to get off the print bed. The spatula that comes with the printer has scratched my print surface to where i"ve replaced the sheet twice in recent weeks and It appears I'll have to replace it again. I would love to get this corrected, but not sure what to try next.

    Hey @AlienBeans if your first layer is level manually adjust the z probe distance a bit and it should be easier (increase the distance between the hotend and the bed). That’s in the utilities/eeprom menu. If you adjust the spring level it will only help for the one print, it has to be adjusted in the software for the home.

    Yep, it is entirely possible to get too much adhesion from that first layer.
    Some materials are worse for that than others (i.e. some materials adhere TOO well)
