I dont get why babypowder?

I noticed a weird thing when it was printing a brim and i paused it to check the gap and it was .3mm when i waited until it started printing the actual first layer of the part it was .2mm

did that, my print that i was doing looks great, but warped in the end.
It seems like when i print a Skirt, its not as low as my first layer as it tends to curl up.

i find brims a pain to remove

I suggest folks just get a 1/16th sheet and then you dont need to adhere it to anything.
it can just sit on top of your existing glass. being held down by edge clips.

Looks similar, Its like acrylic to cut.. stiff board.. i suggest you go thicker so give it more rigidity. 1/16" if its thicker / flat, you dont need to glue it down.

Ive printed 3 items on it..
so far its been really awesome..! im not exagerating

I printed some single wall items with no bottom layer that hold down well..
