On first print, I have the extruder set to the thickness of a piece of printer paper.
The head moves to the print are and starts but its not sticking to the aluminum heated bed.
Any ideas?
I've never used a RepRap (this is my first post here, I decided to go for building a RepRap last night), but I have some experience with Fusion3 printers, and they recommend applying a layer of Elmer's glue stick to the print surface for more reliable first layer adhesion. And it cleans up with ordinary water.
