Help Please

So, I have a Rostock Max V4 - I bought a pre-built. I CANNOT get a clean print, and with PETG I can't even get a first layer down - Atomic Filament, blue tape, 240 @ nozzle, 80 bed (I have tried ranges from 60 to 100 for bed and 220 to 245 for nozzle). I have been keeping speeds low, no cooling during first couple of layers (though I cannot get a clean first layer so kind of irrelevant at this stage).
I think it's a flow/z offset issue but I am off what my initial questions is.
This is my second 3D printer, I have a Qidi Tech 1 and have been printing for over 3 years, so I am not new to this...but I have always used Simplify3D and SeeMeCNC recommends Cura so I am learning it - has some nice features (to many at times) but not as intuitive.
The pre-set Cura Profiles provided do not include settings for Rostock V4 - does anyone know where I can find profiles for this machine? The profile available for 5mm nozzle does not have the right settings for the V4 (dual extruder, wrong bed size to mention a few).
Does anyone have any GCode for testing/calibrating layer height?
Does anyone have any GCode for testing/calibrating print temp?
What are the extruder controls on the web interface for the printer (Feed Amount and Feedrate)? I can't find any documentation on interface and how to use, what the intentional use of these settings are (on the fly adjustments and for customizing for filament/print types).
I know there are a lot of questions but I am frustrated, I have spent the last 8 days trying to get a decent print and I can't and I am very much regretting getting a Rostock right now.
