I am having a devil of a time trying to get this damn thing to print. Any advice is appreciated. Most of the issues seem to be around the supports and I just can't find a good position for it to print. Settings are posted below

You will need to dial in your support interface settings and cooling then, also if your bed is too hot or cold it can warp. For PLA+ I usually stick at 55-60c.

I've got it at 60-65 for the bed and 225 for the nozzle (230 for first layer)

I would bring the bed temp down some and keep the heat the same or down to 220. Cooling settings?

ok. i have the cooling fans running at max after the first layer.

Probably too much cooling, for PLA+ I never use full fan.
