?? You said Raft was On, but No Raft in picture ?

Again, Did you try printing the same object somewhere else , Not in center of bed ??

Do you have any other Slicer software you can try, Not Rep-G ?
So you can have More control.

Sorry, i took the raft off, before the pic was taken!
I have used makerware, but that is giving some nasty results,
I might purchase simplify 3d, it sounds good from what people are saying on this site

Some slicers let you do the first layer even shower. For ABS, I do 20mm/sec for the first layer.

what slicer/software programs would you recommend for the creator?

slic3r is not bad it has a lot of settings to play with http://slic3r.org/
and here is a tutorial on installing it and the settings you will need for flashforge creator http://www.3duniverse.org/2014/01/05...forge-creator/
It's not the only one out there but I like it

also you want to drop the bed temp to 95 - sebastian hasn't commented so I'll tell you :-)
The pro is enclosed so you shouldn't have too many problems with abs.

Oh yeah and you need something on the bed for it to stick to.
Blue painters tape works well for abs. As do certain hairsprays and abs slurry. Abs dissolved in acetone.
I found blue tape the easiest and cleanest. Although If you calibrate too tight it can be a real sod getting the tape off the bottom of the print.

Thanks for the advice, I will give it a go,
I have to rebuild my machine this weekend, Tang from FF has sent me some parts,
Tang has been so helpful, really great!
