Also, don't print till you hit at least 90 on the bed. I print on glass treated with PVA glue and doing that means it sticks every time, regardless of slicer

I had a lot of sticking issues and went to the glass bed + hairspray (the whole switch will cost you less then $10) and have had no issues since.

Slic3r can do brims, which I like more than rafts because they are super easy to remove. Try a 2mm brim your prints.

Finally, be sure to level your bed. Below is the Official Solidoodle video, their technique worked perfect for me.

Don't quote me here because I could be wrong.  I think the main difference causing issues from pronterface/skeinforge to repetier/slicer is first layer height.  When I made the switch I was pretty dialed in for pronterface, had a good first layer height,  everything stuck well. When I switched it went from great first layer height to drastically to high . I think that pronterface/skeinforge runs first layer height at z0 as opposed to slicer as .3 or whatever you have set.

Id calibrate everything and go from there

Even with everything at perfect temperatures my extrusion drags or doesn't stick to me kapton tape. I figured it is a down grade to go from the kapton to painters tape. I also have gaffing tape and was wondering if that would work.

By layer two something has a bump and it ruins the whole part.

Any suggestions?

Should I stick with Pronterface? I'd like 0.1mm.
