			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Well I had same experience withthe Alum bed being warped hard to find right spot that is flat glass will help and is cheap and easy. Home depot $3 worth of glass and a few chip clips from dollar store and I was up and running and changed my SD2 experience all together.</p><p>But.. if not. See that skirt to the right. It is slight bead but the left is squished almost you can not see? I know when I ran Alum the left was more or less what I wanted ot see to get a first layer but I realized after glass that is too much and caused the drag.</p><p>So it appears you need to level the bed a little and your first layer has a lot of flow, lots of blobs. Also you are dragging a lot across the infill and gear you might be cooling too fast too. And with infill on such a narrow part slow down the over all speed</p><p>If you go higher it is not sticking because it is dragging the plastic off the bed it is too close, level things out first for sure.<br />I usally do a piece of printer photo paper at 0.25mm all around and double check the middle to the leveling points too find a happy medium. Should slide under with just a little effort and bed compresses a hair.</p><p>then back the Z screw 1/16 up so the bed is closer you should be about .2mm and if warped in middle maybe 0.1mm. That seemed to work best for me</p>]]></content>

Also, there are some traces and blobs of plastic.</p><p>If I adjust the Z screw a little higher the ABS doesn&#039;t stick and I had to use 110(C) for it to stick.</p><p>Thank you,</p><p>CB</p><br /><br /><p>Note:</p><p>I already did the extruder calibration and the flow rate adjustment.
