How to i make this stop...
I've been working on this printer for 3 days, to be honest I'm at my breaking point. I'm new to printing and was stupid and bought a second hand one to save money (that's going well) it took me forever to learn and level and now I'm doing a first good layer but it still looks like shit. Everywhere I've posted people just argue over what it is or have 0 patience to help. People are saying it's my filament, the beds not level or it's to hot or the rods that hold my z axis are messed up. Can I please get some actual knowledge help... it's all cracky and stringy and looks like garbage, thanks advance.

Some people are saying use a can and manually lower it to level.. I've cold purged and leveled my shit 25 times, I've opened the extruder and confirmed the gears are moving and the pins are in place. Some are telling me my beds not level (but I feel like I've done everything in my knowledge to level it) I just don't understand what to do anymore haha (never understand anything to even begin with 😂)

Check all axis for wobbling. And extruder, nozzle. So just be dead still.
What filament do you use? Don't try on the old ones. I mean, they absorber moisture, and degrade. At least for testing use some brands new.
It looks like you may have more than one minor issue compounding - but the underlying print function looks OK.
First: dry your filament. If you don't have a dryer or dehydrator many modern electric ovens (NOT gas) are accurate enough that a couple of hours at 50C will make a useful difference.
Next, run the built-in first layer 'Z' calibration and show us the result *on the print sheet* - if it looks OK to you, you could also try another cube to see if interlayer adhesion has improved; use one of the 0.2mm layer presets.
Don't expect to fix everything in one go - but we should make progress.
Cheerio,

Ok, so first off any idea how old the nozzle is that can cause problems if it's old. Next follow this to replace the ptfe tube in side the hotend if that's clear then let us know

- Hey guys, update! Ordering PLA I was using Petg. I did manage to fix alot of the problems by adjusting the heat of nozzel/bed. It's not perfect but it's better.

Okay, I only have had my printer since March and have had issues with a head melting and failed Pinda due to that.
Printing with PETG is not easy in comparison to PLA or ASA in my experience, and I have been trying to get great prints with PETG for months. Still have issues but I can print PETG usable objects for my needs.
With this in mind, I would be doing any printer trouble finding with PLA as all the information I can find is that it is very forgiving of issues.
As for drying filament, this is important and if you search, you will find many posts on this forum and all over the Internet. I live in a dry area and at present, my humidity in my workshop is under 35% at 22 degrees but I still keep my filament in a box with desiccant that is indicating 22% at 19 degrees. It makes a big difference. Hygrometers will become your friend with 3D printing.
I am trying to work out a calibration procedure for new filament to get better prints. Heat towers, all in one tests, extrusion tests, etc. There is lots to learn to get "perfect" prints and it takes time. and the more you learn, the more there is to learn.
With a used printer, I would first download the assembly manual for the printer. Check that everything is aligned properly. Movement from one location to another could knock things out of alignment. I purchased a kit since I am handy with my hands and like knowing how things work.
Another thing that may be causing issues with PETG is printer location and possible air flow. At work when we first started, we had lots of issues with PETG and found that were the printer was located, it was getting affected by the air makeup system as one of the vents was blowing towards the printer. Putting the printer in a cardboard box helped.
As Diem said, you may have been trying to deal with many little problems compounding the frustration.
