I have a monoprice maker select v2. I have to manually level it. I cannot seem to print anything that requires the full bed. If it does require most of the bed or atleast stretches across most of the bed, it will not lay down the first layer well. Usually only a couple parts of it will stick. I try to level each corner in a star pattern.

PLA

200c extruder (small prints work well at this temperature)

60c bed

30mm/s

0.2 mm

I have it print 3 skirts first and the skirt fails.

Any fix?

Sounds like the bed is warped pretty bad. Will need to either get a flat bed or use mesh leveling firmware to program the warp out.

I would suggest the reprap champion y carriage, 20 bucks on Amazon and solved my leveling issues. I now level only when I change nozzles, otherwise it stays for ~2 months at a time

Disregard my post! I had the wrong machine in my mind!! Sorry for any confusion.
