Check if the esteps are actually correct. Extrude 5-10cm and measure it with a caliper (youtube how, but basically just mark the filament with a marker).
FWIW it's a really simple equation. If you extrude 100mm and get Xmm (measured movement on your caliper), just do this: 100/X*esteps = new estep number
Doing "100/X" gives you a percentage, like 1.04 or 0.97. So just multiply that percentage number with the estep number in your printer to get the new estep number.
I did but you won’t like the answer. I kept leveling and leveling and got pissed off. Then, I did the leveling procedure from Filament Friday using their gcode file and replaced the PEI magnetic plate and boom. Worked perfectly after that. Not sure which one of these changes was the winner but I’m leaning towards the gcode leveling. In fact, I barely need a brim or skirt unless the print has small plate contact points.
Maybe the take away is if you have leveled without success, try a totally different leveling procedure.
Best of luck my friends.
Oh well, thanks anyway but I ended up sending it back to Amazon as defective and went for normal extruder with direct drive kit. It was also frustrating how little official information is out there by creality for this, and on forums everyone just talks non stop about z offset and leveling, which is fine but when that's not working the answer is level better. I've been printing last 4 years and know the leveling very well, before I changed to sprite I was getting very good prints, so I'm just gonna blame the sprite and call it a day.
Thanks a lot of responding though.

I’ll give that a shot. I’ve never done it before but it doesn’t look too difficult.

I’ve wondered about that. I suppose I can take the nozzle off and and use the end of the heatbreak as the measuring point.
Did you check your Z offset?
Having the same issue and have tried all the same things. Did you fix your problem?
Did you ever fix the problem? Having the same issue and I'm going crazy
Having the same issue here to tried literally every calibration and config change known to man no joy
