Nice!I've been using the Cura initial layer horizontal expansion parameter (like -.5mm) to adjust for the first layer squish (elephant's foot).
yea , that bottom edge can be a pain in the butt.. I thin adding a raft to the print eliminates the issue also.

I will start using a raft. tinkercad is really messing up today.. red lines everywhere.. node faled group failed.. designs suddenly shifting all over the place.. I closed it and cleared browser several times.. guess I'll stop today.

Make sure to right cllick the part in cura, and hit center object on build plate.. ( its an option in the drop down
Bed adhesion with the Flsun QQ-S can be a pain, I can print with PETG only if I slow down the initial layer to below 10 mm/s, the travel moves are so fast that even with a properly leveled bed, the nozzle will pull the filament away from the bed.I currently have PLA loaded in mine, I still print the first layer slowly and I use brims on most things, but I’ll use a raft when I’m printing longer 12 hour plus prints.Also the bed on the QQ-S isn’t the same distance all around, you’ll likely spend awhile getting the settings just right.Sometimes I print a single layer disk at .2 mm that is 150x150mm of course you can download the anycubic predator bed level stl scale it down, the point of either of these is to really check your bed level.

Is there an upgrade for this circular bed?Also thinking about nylon+ carbon and glass.. I'm lighting it today and plan to build an enclosure that I downloaded. I think I need an all metal hot end and hardened nozzle..

I think I need an all metal hot end and hardened nozzle..I believe the bed is the same for both the QQ-S and Pro, the main difference is the WiFi capability, which I never use.From what I’ve found the center of my bed is higher than the outer Edges of the bed, I’ve also started writing down the Z height so I can reference it when I’m changing settings.
