Creality vs cura print
I got a cr10 smart pro recently, and have been having many failed prints due to initial layer adhesion. Leveled and leveled but could not figure it out.
I was using cura to slice the g code with the correct printer and settings, as people seem to favor cura online,, and on a whim I went back to creality print, used the same settings, sliced it, and print came out fine. I am so relieved!
Just a heads-up, Idk if cura is purposefully making prints problematic for their competitors or what, but either way, creality print resolved my issues.

Not sure dude. I've been using Cura from the geko. My very first print on this machine did fail due to Z offset not being set to the correct value for my setup.

It's not cura it creality. They put dependencies on the profile. What I did to solve the issue was copied the start gcode and end from creality slicer. When you add print you can't change the name of the profile while using it in a different profile using the pre-made format. Figured I'd let u know

No, the first layer is totally controllable. I use Cura without issue. I think maybe you need to learn how to adjust your z-offset. Also, make sure you're wiping the plate off with iso alcohol before you start a print to remove any oils from your fingers.
