A photo would help.

You can always email Qidi and ask them.

I very rarely print anything other than ASA and I know the standard extruder set up does not like sustained temps above 240 because the teflon tube starts...

If it's anything like the standard extruder in my X CF pro anything over 240 will probably give you problems.

Perhaps a picture of what you need would help, however there are dozens of different latches on Amazon.

I made a latch for my gate using ASA

Try 'Z' hop on layer change, just something to try, it might work.

There should also be a command in the slicer to avoid moving over printed parts.

A simple Google search would have provided you with the following answer.......

PLA+ is an augmented version of PLA. PLA+ contains additives and modifiers that make it stronger and tougher, with...

I really like Prusaslicer because it's so easy to find out what each command actually does just by holding the pointer over it and a web page comes up, hope you like it.

Presuming you are using PLA, I believe there will be a standard PLA generic profile for each printer selected in Cura, but I am not sure.
It could be that if you uninstall Cura and do a fresh...

From my limited experience, you are asking for a wall thickness of 1.2mm with a wall line count of ten with a 0.4mm line width ?
Three line widths would make a 1.2mm wall thickness.

You're...

There's an old addage that you can make small things on a big lathe, but you can't make big things on a small lathe.

It can be frustrating trying to design things and then split them into more...

Did you clean the bed surface?

Have you checked the initial nozzle distance from the bed using a piece of writing paper and adjust using the bed leveling screws until the nozzle just rubs the...

To me from the pics it looks like a warping problem and one side has lifted off the bed.

I assume you are using PLA? Your bed temp might need increasing, the bed might need a good clean with some...

With my limited knowledge I personally don't know what to advise, someone with more knowledge might reply to help. A photo would be good.

You could always try a different slicer, I personally like...

Perhaps you could be more specific as to what the problems are rather than saying the prints are bad and you want better quality.

Perhaps try going back to a basic slicer profile for whatever...

Could be that dish soap will leave a residue behind.
Once a corner comes up it is very unlikely to stick back down.

You tube has many videos about first layer problems, it could be that you need...

Should be okay then, however a wipe with some IPA might help, I give mine a quick wipe before each print

Without knowing what your bed is made of it sounds like you might need to use some glue stick prior to printing.

If you try it, it will help if you wipe the bed with a tissue and some IPA or...

That line looks like a seam caused when one layer ends and the next one starts.
There should be a setting in your slicer to make the layer seam occur randomly on each layer rather than in one place

Suggest you contact Qidi direct

I had a similar problem with the actual heated bed bowing upwards in the middle, holding a known metal straight edge on the bed confirmed this.
The bed was replaced under warranty, but I used the...

Print a level test with something like thirteen 0.2mm thick X 30mm squares set in a grid pattern to cover the bed, see printables or thangs for a suitable STL
Look at the result to determine the low...

Have you sliced it in 'vase' mode. That will literally only make a thin walled vase.

I'm sure I've seen a printer on Youtube printing upside down, i.e. filament extruded upwards.
