It should be the height of a thin piece of paper.
2) Did you clean the bed/glass? A good wash with soap and/or window cleaner should do the trick. Do NOT touch with hand. Oil is not your friend here.

SOME ADDITONAL HELP:
1) Hair spray does wonders for PLA
2) ABS juice/ glue stick(purple) does wonders for ABS
3) Some say printing on Kypton tape/ Blue painters tape works (never tried these since the above 2 works for me)

Good luck!!]]> ZeRoCoOl29 Printing Sat, 07 Jun 2014 10:26:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,366425,366425#msg-366425 printing problem - ABS not attach on the bed https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,366425,366425#msg-366425 I really hope that i don't mistake forum area.....=/
