The Flashforge has exactly the same size build plate. I use Qidi Tech built in bed leveling which works just fine. I've have used Simplify3D from day one so don't have a lot of experience with the other free software out there. Your temps are what I run except I have glass build plates and use Aquanet hairspray.

Odd, ok then. I've emailed their support in hopes that they can help identify the problem.

What firmware type and GPX profile did you all use in the process settings under GCode? Mine is listed as MakerBot/Sailfish Firmware with GPX profile os Replicator 1 - dual extruder.

Those two short tube are PTFE and they are in the extruders to prevent heat traveling up the extruder and melting the filament prematurely. With out the PTFE the filament will kink up and jam. You need to keep those in case you need to unclog the extruder and they become damaged.

That cube is a calibration cube that should measure 10mm x 10mm x10mm when it's done. It's not a bad idea to start with it to make sure the printer is properly calibrated.
I also had problems getting my objects unstuck from the blue build pad and that's why I switched to glass and hairspray.
I've now added Qidi's cooling fan to my extruders and I'm able to control it through Simplify3D settings. It does help my prints and so far I've tried it with PLA and PETG.
I will be doing a post on adding the factory cooling fan to an earlier model Qidi Tech soon.
