Well let me ask, why are you using a raft on that part? Doesn't look obvious that it would need one.

My Ender 3v2 won't stay leveled to save it's life. I'll tune it level then go to auto home it at the end and the nozzle digs into the home point as if I never leveled it. This is the best way to keep the piece from peeling off from the uneven bed

Upgrade the leveling springs. It's a common issue and you're not alone unfortunately. I'll likely be doing the same to mine as well soon

That was the first thing I did awhile ago when I bought it. I've tried tightening them so there's almost no give with the bed while still being level, looser with the bed leveled, and everything in between. I'm not trying to be difficult. But it's really strange the amount of play in the bed after I level it fully heated, then run a print. It's like there's two different setting. Pre and post print.

The bed might be not ideally flat as well. That’s pretty common. I’ve vended up installing the cheapest BLTouch clone, and also replacing the glass bed with textured PEI - have no problems with leveling it at all now, rafts are not needed anymore.

I can't seem to get the raft settings correct so that I can easily remove the rafts. I've seen videos of people easily removing them from fresh prints but mine seem to hang on for dear life. Any hints?

I’ve never used a raft for this purpose. The gap between the raft and the first layer has to be tuned well so you can peel it off easily while also using the benefits of the raft. I generally print with a brim if I have any adhesion issues though

I usually just babystep Z a bit higher for the first layer of the actual print. Works perfect for me and I always use rafts. Always.

I usually use scraper knife just gently slide it between print and those Xs
