    just bought a roll of duck brand blue painters tape. Holy carp it's expensive !But if it works I'm sure I can defintiely get it cheaper. So are there any particular settings I need to use for painter tape ? hotter/cooler bed, etc****For your wood filament, Try 4mm plywood geoff. Or thin sheets of poplar, I believe I read somewhere.***well tried the blue tape last night.same issue raft sticks really well. prints without raft, not a hope in hell. mh calibrations are good. zero head drag and sheet of paper just slides under heads. i went down as low as 20mms, print speed. and it still wouldn't stick. i'll try vinyl next, but i'm pretty sure my main issue is lack of layer control in makerware.
