I press load, the nozzle heats up to 230 degrees, goes to step 2 where it determines the position of the filament, and then turns off. What's wrong? Help please

I've messed with fan speeds adding multiple object setting min layer time to 20 seconds... I still get these edges curling up.... Anyone have any insight on what to test to get rid of this?

Print in place bearings for a dry box roller system. Top comes out fine, bottom layers are always fused. Using the basic elegoo slicer, all settings default. Have tried multiple quality settings, though maybe was a brim issue as the first ones I did printed with brims. Turned off and still no go. Is there a setting for first layers I need to look at? I can separate the inner and outer rings, but the individual rollers are stuck. Even if I cut the extra they never get to roll right as the bottoms aren't round.

So I scrolled a few messages down... And didn't see my particular issue. Man do people have issues... I never dreamed of so many problems people are having. (Speaking of ill contribute what little knowledge I have, unless people feel I should hold off until I've proven myself as a competent maker.)

But anywho. Back to my story/journey/issue... I stumbled up hill upon unboxing chasing symptoms I had no Idea what they meant... So I asked AI... What a rabbit hole that led me down... Long story short. Don't rely on AI for advice on print quality from pictures. They lead you astray, or at least it did for me...

So my base line cc1 has some cheap Amazon hardened extruder gears which for some reason makes my extrusion rates way off. I've ran the 120mm filament length check to see about the esteps and the remainder was 20mm after the 100mm pull. I reset tension mechanism for x y belts in rear... (Stupid mechanism). I retrammed and levelled bed at 35c using gcode I had written and dial indicator.

So my issue is the starts/stops or so I'm guessing... You can clearly see a perfect ledge right in the diagonal and on a non rotated cube instead of ghosting you can see the layer of filament below the top layer. Like little hole from no filament there and filament somewhere else... Also my purge line shows a very tiny, tiny break between the final stop start with a bit of a blob at the beginning of the last feed...

Also the print left a white mark on the bed. Printed with PLA. I was using 220 (default) degrees and 30 degrees for bed. The bed is a smooth build plate. I had a clug this day, took it apart and fixed it. It started to do it. Also the bed needed 30minutes to cool down from 60 to 30 degrees. (it was on 60 degrees because of the autolevel)
