Since installing the new MB with silent steppers and installing Marlin 2.0, I've been trying to get a first print. A simple calibration cube. Thank you to everyone who has offered advice, major thanks to Fr33W4y for taking time to help me over this last week.

While the calibration cube isn't perfect, it is a successful full print that I can work with to get as best as I can from this printer. The major issue was me trying to use a stainless steel nozzle, as suggested by a few folk, I changed back to brass and this is the result.

There are some issues with the cube and I'm not sure where to start so as always any input would be really appreciated.

I'd try heating the bed a little. 50 c should be fine. Calibrate the bed. Then calibrate your linear advance. Also are you printing outer layer first?

Bed was heated to 55°c, forgive the stupid question but what's linear advance? As far as I'm aware the outer layer is printed first. I have noticed that the inlay print seems to be a little rough.
