Extruder Dribble?
I tried to run the First Layer Calibration and I noticed as it was getting ready, it started dribbling out a thin line of filament BEFORE it even touched the hotbed.
What else can go wrong with this thing?

Some stringing is to be expected. This is a problem with the one brand of TPU (Flex ...) I bought. Prusa PLA and PETG work well. Try setting the extruder temperature lower (stay within the recommended range).

@del-wilson
I've done that. Anything else?

@one-man_indie if you load a filament like PLA it heads up to the usual printing temp and primes the nozzle, while running the first layer calibration it lowers the temp to 170°C for mesh bad leveling, while the temp lowers it can ouze out a little bit of filament, because of the nature of being a bowden style printer. Usually this shouldn't be any issue and should be whiped of while it prints the prime/purge line (if the nozzle is already close enough so the filament will stick to the bed).
