I just read where someone said for ABS to get rid of the painters tape and do the purple glue stick, put it on a cold bed so not to use to much.

Personally, I use a glass bed and hair spray and have pretty good luck with ABS adhesion.

230 on extrusion, 110 on the bed. I am using painter's tape so that I can actually get my PLA stuff off the bed (it was HARD to get stuff off without it).

However, PLA simply will not adhere. Period. I've leveled the bed when the bed was at 110. Same leveling process I use with PLA.

There a trick I'm missing?

NOTE: I've had some luck with a gluestick, but the stuff I'm getting looks like craaaaaaaaaap. Like, missing lines all over the place on my first layer and such.
