For printing with ABS, painter tape doesn't really work (at least not for me).  You'll need a heated bed for that with either Kapton, or glass with hair spray, so some other means of keeping the plastic down.

Is that some sort of special tape besides the kapton tape? Or is it actually painters tape?
