The object you are printing nearly fills the bed. This means the bed must be leveled over that same area. That can be difficult. The print head will naturally bow down closer to the bed in the middle of its travel, and raise up nearer the edges. I suggest you try again to level the bed, and also raise the bed up to be closer to the nozzle that you will be printing with. Some areas of the first layer may squish down more than you would wish, but those that are further away and are not adhering would have a better shot at sticking. You also might try adding gluestick or hairspray onto the tape if you are not already using them. It is likely that, since you have totally rebuilt one of the extruders, the R and L extruder nozzles are now at different relative heights from the bed. I think you should also make sure you wait a while after the print bed comes up to the target temperature. The readback bed temp value and the actual surface temp of the bed are not the same, and it can take a few minutes for the top bed surface to stabilize its temperature.
What type material are you printing and what are your settings?

First test of using glue stick on glass for ABS and the verdict is a big success. Been using hair spray and PLA is fine but mixed with ABS. The 10 hour print didn't lift or curl. Very pleased and hope it isn't just a fluke!! More tests today on a couple ABS woodworking gauges that take up most of the build plate.
Also PEI sheets coming today to try out after hearing mostly good things about them with ABS. We will see.
On another note, Makergeeks has been absolutely silent on my now 3 bad rolls of filament and many emails for help. Not a word from them. My last order of five rolls came and none were vacuum sealed, looked like they were just put in bags but no vacuum pulled. I was going to order some raptor to try but now I don't think I will use them again.

I have stepper motors with the following numbers on the back. Anyone know if there is a difference in them?
