    The buildtak is pretty but it doesn't really work well at all, I've found. The blue painter's tape gives better results but still pulls up (often lifting the tape off the buildtak!).

    This is the nature of the mechanical design of the printer and is normal. Look at the design of the print head - the nozzle is in front of the two rods that run left to right. The rods that run...

    The tiny belts are pressed into toothed grooves on the bottom of the sliders. It's hard to tension and force it back into the groove but it is possible. I know it's less tight than it was when I...

    It's just far too delicate. It does work, sometimes - but everything is just hanging together by a thread. It's not robust at all and definitely not a "consumer ready" product. The software (and...

    If it came in very small, you probably are modeling (or exported) your .STL file in inches. Export it in Metric/SI units (millimetres) and try again.
