Topic: Solidoodle 3 Not Printing Right
*Sigh* heres a video of it. Basically it doesnt stick to the bed (yes its heated same with extruder) and then on the next layer it doesnt go up so it kinda scraps the bottom off the bed.

Re: Solidoodle 3 Not Printing Right
Head to your local brick and mortar store that sells glass and buy a few pieces to fit your bed at 1/8" thick. Buy some aquanet hairspray and put just a touch on the glass after you have made sure it's level and adjusted the limit switch stop in the back to allow for the proper height from the tip of your extruder. You will be a lot happier with glass or mirror than you are with the tape and it will last far longer. You will have a lot less trouble messing up your parts trying to remove them from cooled glass. I was able to get a bagful of mirror pieces cut to size for practically nothing at Lowes out of their scrap drops they had laying around.

Looks like you are printing too high off the bed also if you slow down the first layer it will help it to stick even when the Z height is not perfect.
