    I just added a PEI print bed. So far, I can't get anything to stick to it like the reviews say. Any suggestions as to what settings to change and what starting temps to use. I am printing ABS. My goal is to get away from having to use hair spray or ABS juice to get parts to stick to the bed.

    I responded to you via PM but for the public record PETG is a superior filament to ABS in almost every way and will stick to PEI perfectly.

    There are a lot of choices better than ABS even for specs like Tg (glass transition) and certainly for elongation and strength.
    All of them are better than ABS printing wise.
