Borosilicate glass on and leveled. Software functioning. Printer just finished a 13 hour print with AMAZING results!
Slowly learning that object placement can greatly change time of printing (supports), amount of material and finished product. Experimenting with different positions (face up vs face down, etc).
I've found that Kapton tape has worked the best for me (so far) in having ABS stick to the glass. I think I've also found that sweet spot for bed temp and nozzle temp for ABS.
Thanks again for everyone's help!
That's what I prefer wenches for.
