Not enough filament flow in first layer

[BRP 0]

My first layer doesn't seem to have good filament flow. The rest of the print is great. Is there a setting somewhere that I can change the rate of flow fr the first layer?

Yes. But it's probably your "leveling". If the extruder is skipping back a lot then you are too close. If the traces are rounded like a string instead of flatenned like a pancake then you are probably atoo far. Just turn the 3 leveling knobs the same amount until the problem is corrected. No need to re-run the whole leveling procedure. Do this during the start of your next print.

Thank you, the bed was a hair too low.

i really recommend something like that:

once installed, you can easily adjust the distance between printbed and nozzle without touching the printbed leveling.
