    If you have trouble with removal, try Kapton tape instead of blue masking tape. The smooth surface texture of kapton tape makes it grab a little less.
    Thanks that is what I did. I said to myself I will be coming back soon so I guess the printer can stay on. It probably was quite a while so that would have been the problem.

    I have not been putting tape on the bed so far but looks like most use tape to make it easier to take the object off the bed.

    Just wondered if the settings like heat etc are all included in the object being printed or are there some in the printer settings that need adjusting?

    Wondered if these settings are correct and do they need to be adjusted for every print I do?
