M3D Printer

[parkbobo]

Hey~! First of all, thanks for replying, after two weeks of failure, anything helps.

So if I were to cover my build platform in blue painters tape, would it make prints innaccurate due to leveling issues and the nozzle being too close to the bed for the tape. I don't know much about printers, as I am new, but those were some concerns.

So are you saying that if I get my print to fully stick to the bed, shifting would not occur? I am just looking to clarify.

So my program originally ran PLA at 215 C, and when I complained to support, they said to up it bit by bit. And by the way, I do not have a heated print bed.

My Filament- 1/2 Pound of the PLA plastic from the M3D website http://store.printm3d.com/#filaments_head_scroll

The object that I experienced skipping with was the Body1.stl from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:557812/#files
I also experienced messy printing with Back_Hand_Right_Hand.stl from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:892654/#files

And I am going to be 100% honest I don't know what a slicer is.

EDIT: Alright so recently I just tried to print a test border at 210 C and it only printed 1 side, i think because of how cold it is
