Good morning friends! I'm still fairly new to 3D printing, although I'm learning a lot more to be dangerous now. I'm printing this part, and I have cleaned and leveled the bed, as I do before every print, and usually have very few issues. This time, my first layer went down almost perfect, with the exception of the bottom right corner being a little bit tight, but as you can see in the picture, every once in a while, I get exactly one line of it not adhering on the first layer. Subsequent layers all seem to lay down perfectly fine, so I'm suspecting bed adhesion, it's just weird that it's only in one single line. Anyone ever experienced issues like this, and seen a remedy?

Hmm... I would still guess that it's the height. Try using the auto-home, then go to move > Z axis and lower the Z to zero, then turn off the motor. If you put a sheet of paper between the nozzle and the bed, how much friction do you feel? You should be able to distinctly feel the texture of the paper, but you should still be able to move the paper around with too much force. If that's not the case, you should try lowering the Z offset and try again until you get the friction just right, consistently, without needing to make adjustments
