-Sand down the bed using the supplied sanding block. Soak the block in water before sanding to reduce any acrylic dust. Wipe the bed with a damp paper towel when done to remove any acrylic particles.

-Reduce speed of first layer. You can reduce speed in your slicing program or by turning the knob on the LCD screen during a print.

-Adjust the first layer temperature in the slicing program. The hotter the temperature the better prints will stick but also the harder they are to remove (possibly damaging the part).

-Ensure the first layer is printing thick enough and the hotend is the correct distance from the print bed.

-If using ABS, try heating the bed slightly before printing using a hair dryer. Make sure to sand down bed and reduce first layer print speed.
