Help with 3D Print not sticking

Not familiar with that specific printer so I can't speak for its quality, but it generally seems like any other clone out there.

Aha, now here you've got it backwards. You first use the corner screws to manually get the bed as level (technically trammed) as you can using e.g. the paper trick. Only then do you run the auto leveling. The auto leveling is only meant to compensate small irregularities due to imperfect leveling or a warped bed. See e.g. this video (timestamped) to get an idea about the manual bed leveling for (almost) this printer:
The steps to take are:
- Home the printer (be carefule it doesn't crash into the bed)
- Adjust the first corner screw until a piece of paper between the nozzle and the bed lightly drags
- Move the nozzle to the net corner.
- Repeat 1-2 for every corner and perhaps the center.
- Run auto-leveling
Do NOT touch the z height during this, only adjust X-Y when moving to the corners.
