Another major cause of prints failing to stick is a lack of bed flatness. Thin sheet aluminum is cheap and thermally conductive which is why it is commonly found in printers with heated beds. With no force applied to it it may be flat enough to print on, but the typically poor leveling system usually guarantees that there will be bending forces on the aluminum, ruining any inherent flatness it may have started with.

Three point leveling is definitely the way to go, but I see that you've got the bearings on the base of your A frame placed pretty close together. It would be better to space them farther apart if the design of the machine's Y axis allows it.
