Z18 or other Gen 5 -- printing without a raft
just curious if anyone has had success printing without a raft on their Z18 or Gen 5
and if so, what are you doing to the build plate?

I told my tech guy to swap the tape. You have to experiment to see which paint tape works best with your makerbot. Not all PLA filaments will adhere the same than a different brand.
You can try to use frogtape and see if something happens.
