        <title>Print Surface</title>
        <description> Hi guys,

Well I have a functioning Mendel but I still can&#039;t print properly.
The print just doesn&#039;t stick to the surface, what are you guys using?

I tried MDF and plexiglass (acrylic).

I need a long term solution that isn&#039;t a heated bed.

I&#039;m using ABS.

Thanks</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ ABS should stick to acrylic even if it isn't heated. That is what the both the Makebot Cupcake and the BfB RapMan use. You will need a raft though if you aren't heating the bed. If the raft does not stick make sure the nozzle is low enough to squash the filament against it.]]></description>
