    Ensure good bed adhesion with tape, glue/hairspray etc.
    Thanks for the tips. That makes sense for overhangs. I don't have any choice other than PLA right now.
    That makes sense for overhangs. I haven't had much experience with bridges or supports. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get supports to break off the easiest. There are lots of options. Similar but different I am still trying to figure out the best options to get rafts to break off easiest. Sometimes I have problems peeling the rafts off of flat objects.

    if you're using pla - you absolutely DO NOT need rafts.

    heat the bed and use pva gluesticks (cheapest buck store ones work best) I usually start with at least three good layers of pva.
