Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

      Ten years… Someone apparently thinks they’re funny. I’d like to see their ten year old 3d printer that is still essentially using stock or equivalent components and hasn’t been essentially re-engineered from the ground up. Are you enjoying manually leveling that bed with thumbscrews and a scrap of paper? Still printing on tape, or maybe a piece of glass? This whole hobby is still moving relatively quickly and I wouldn’t be surprised to wind up working with additional axes or other unpredictable innovations ten years from now. Certainly we’ll have gone through multiple “ultimate” build surfaces by then.

        Just because something it’s 10 years old doesn’t mean it’s useless or broken, especially when it’s open hardware and you can upgrade it or repair it. Your mentality seem to be shaped around closed hardware that you throw away once it’s broken or a new model is released.
