Best Adhesion?
I just got my first 3d printer. It is a xyzprinting Da Vinci 1.0A. I am having trouble with the first layer sticking to the heated bed. I have been using the glue stick that came with the printer. Should I be able to use blue painter tape for ABS? Thanks!

A glass bed with a very thin layer of 3DLac sprayed on works fine for me (also for PLA and PETG).

painters tape doesn't tend to be good for ABS due to the higher temperature required for the print bed. ABS slurry, PVA, Hairspray work well. Make sure that you have your bed level and that you have the gap between the nozzle and the bed about 1 papers thick.

I found that the only way i could print abs was on a raft.
Adhesion isn't the problem, getting it off the bed can be a much larger issue :-)
Best advice is to not use abs :-)

I am having a bad time with some larger ABS prints lifting/curling on the outer edge corners. I am using glass with hair spray. Temps are 110 and 230-240, ten row wide and two layer thick brim and fully enclosed cabinet. I have not tried ABS slurry yet.
The print goes fine for 2-3 hours then it starts to lift.
Here is a question: The print is shaped like a horse shoe. It is a pipe saddle, there are two pieces shaped like a "U" to go around the pipe. Would it be better to print ABS with the "U" facing up, open part up, so the most material is in contact with the bed? Or, flip it the other way so the open part of the "U" is facing down, minimal material contact with the bed. I am going to try this tonight but what are your thoughts on this for ABS.

I am using Dimafix and it's very good. I became addicted to it.

generally the more print in conatct with the bed, the more successful the print.
