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

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.
