Out of curiosity, what is the "Auto Repair" option when sending the object to the printer in XYZWare (right next to supports and rafts)?

It does not work, but if it did it is supposed to examine the model and look for errors and water tightness like they do when you submit your model to Netfabb cloud services. The majority of the models on thingiverse have never actually been proven printable so they need to be fixed before they can be printed.

Just tried the dog print again and something in the first 5 minutes the extruder head knocked over the two back legs and screwed the entire print up (.2mm layer height, 20% fill, supports and rafts). Since I'm using the painter's tape I feel like I should move it down a bit, but I'm not sure if it knocked the legs over because it is too close, I'm using crappy settings, or the abs is sticking and dragging the legs breaking them free from the bed.
Anybody have similar situations/solutions?

Once the initial layer is laid, each successive layer is placed on top. It should never touch a previous layer. I honestly was having similar issues with the painters tape. For one it would get pulled from the bed if my part curled on the edges and that would allow it to curl. I also had a few parts fall over as well. This is simply due to the drag of laying each layer exceeds the adhesion to the tape.

I went to clean glass and Elmers glue sticks. I have since had no issue with prints falling over or even curling on edges. You just have to make sure it cools to room temp. If it does it should lift right off with little effort.

The Elmers sticks clean up with a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth and the bed is spotless and ready again. Just make sure you use the manual bed level procedure which is a sticky at the top of this section.

I have also found this to be the case & also switched back to glass and glue.

Thanks.

So for now everything seems to be working correctly (except the stupid door, the clips don't lock anymore. Thank you for your help!

When printing try using a raft, as this should help. Also print at lower resolution.

The objects you are trying to print seem like a more difficult print, without a better slicer. I'd start with something flatter and less overhangs.
