    Not sure about the 2016 firmware, what is it running? The 2015 model has a bed level function in the firmware.

    it's running sailfish. i already did a leveling, but right now i do have some adhesion issues. the printer came with the aluminium plate and an attached "printing mat" (blue and with a rippled surface... kind feels like rubber). there are also 2 spare "mats". does anyone know how this has to be cleaned and how to improve adhesion? i thought about removing the mat and print directly on the aluminium...

    Use isopropyl alcohol to clean it. As for what surface you print on, it depends what material you are printing in.

    I would not remove the 'buildtak' unless you are going to replace it with something else. Dialing in your printer take's time. There is a great .pdf floating around on the forums on how to get your sailfish printer dialed in.
