What temperature is your bed set at?
I usually just hit print and it heats up. I think it was 273. But how can you set the bed to heat up?
If you are running all stock, you can't. You might want to confirm on your display what you print nozzle and bed temps are. For an all stock machine nozzle temp should be closer to 190 and your bed temp should be around 90. ABS will not stick well to bare glass or kapton which has the same properties as bare glass. Personally I dont bother with Kapton. I just use Elmers purple glue sticks. They go on purple but dry clear so I can see if I missed any spots. One application is good for 4 prints then it just wipes of with a wet cloth.
If you are having problems getting stuff to syick thrn you may want to checkout the manual bed cslibration procedure that is a sticky at the top 9f the Da Vinci section. Nearly all issues with adherence can be traced bsck to improper bed calibration.
