Clean Build Plate and Recalibrate Z-Offset

To restore proper adhesion on the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2, perform the following steps:

1. Remove the flexible magnetic build plate from the printer.
2. Wash the surface thoroughly using warm water and Dawn dish soap, scrubbing with a clean nylon brush or sponge to remove all skin oils and residue.
3. Dry the plate completely with a clean, lint-free cloth and reinstall it onto the magnetic base, ensuring it is properly aligned.
4. Navigate to the touchscreen interface and initiate the full-auto calibration routine to re-map the bed mesh and establish the correct Z-offset.
5. Verify that the nozzle height is low enough to physically press the molten filament into the textured surface of the build plate during the initial layer print.
6. For parts with small footprints or high warping risks, enable a brim in your slicer settings to increase surface contact area.
