This is my first post as I just got my printer but does anyone have any recommendations for this print? There’s a lot of filler that isn’t stuck to the rest of the print. Everything else is almost perfect except the bottom. I’m using a flash forge 5M with a 220C extruder temp and a 2mm layer I believe.

I would highly suggest practicing with some non 2a prints before you dig into those. Find some silly modely(my favorite is a gnome flipping the bird) and play with the settings and figure out what supports, speeds, temps, and other variables work the best for you. I would also suggest using orca slicer if you aren't using that. The slicer comes with an entire printer/print calibration guide and prints that will pre-load in settings for you to get all dialed in with and there's a guide online to help you through the process. Above all, patience is key. You will have failures, try to find something to learn from them and keep printing.
