Re: first print curled

Since you are using glass on top of the heated bed you need to check the glass temp.  Those readings are from the aluminum plate so the temp of the glass could be anywhere from 5-10d off.  I would try running bed at 95d and see how that prints.  Some people use hairspray to make it stick to the glass as the plastic doesnt stick well to just glass.

Re: first print curled

95deg, hairspray, and enclosed build environment.   Then try again.
