I've tried to print the bed supports with ABS, I assume PLA wont be good to use seeing as these will be right next to the heated bed and could melt if PLA right?

Having some issues with it sticking to the masking tape, couldnt find painters tape.
Even used some generic glue on the masking tape, still comes off s little.

As you can see in pic, this print failed at 80% due to glitch in SD card. But the circular hole isnt perfect, it's more of an oval.

Any ideas why? Is a track loose and need tightening?

Hi, I use PLA for both, the object and supports, much easier that way.

I don't think the glass-supports I printed had oval holes and gaps around them, like that,
but I did use large flat washers there, for better support,
since the small screw-heads tend to crush the plastic.
I'm Not sure why that would happen only at the hole,
but I think it would have to be something wrong in software (slicer) file.

When you get a glass-plate and Aqua-net All the sticking problems will be gone !

Have you not been able to connect a computer directly to printer, thru a USB port ??
Everything is much easier that way, instead of using a SD.
