I just got a Flash Forge Creator Pro and I finally got my first two printers to work but from the SD Card and through Replicator G.. I have a couple of questions that maybe someone can guide me or point me to a good resource


1. Cleaning the print bed.. I used a "glue" type application that came with the printer on my print bed and now I need to clean it off but am worried about hurting the print bed itself.. is cleaning just with alcohol recommended?

2. How to get prints off the bed? My first two prints I felt like I had to literally Pry it off the print bed. Surely I'm missing something on how to get the prints off the bed. I've read about using Painters Tape, hair spray etc.. is there a guide or guidance on this?

3. First few layers are "smaller" than the rest. This one I am unsure of how to explain, I printed a test cube (20mm) and the bottom layers appear to be "tapered" in almost like the "square" was smaller than the subsequent layers.. When looking it appears maybe the first 2 or 3 layers are like this.. the Top layers when finishing the cube appear perfectly square
