Unresolved Prints slipping on PEI surface

I haven't done the sponge scrub thing yet, whats the thinking behind that? does it rough the surface to provide key for adherence? but yes I'm wiping with alcohol prior to printing

 

Rafts are your friend... well, it's working for me LOL.

Another suggestion is, depending on the model, using software to edit the model so it is split into parts and glued together afterwards. I don't like doing this myself but I have a couple of projects where it will be very useful,

(BTW, I'm not disagreeing with you guys, just some good natured ribbing)

 

Cost is minimal IMHO. Most of my prints get gifted to friends and family anyway.
I've had one person at work ask me "how much" for a D&D warrior figure. Cura says it cost me $1.10 for the two I made for him. Seemed unfriendly to charge him so I just gave them to him like all the others. But it was nice that he offered to buy them.

I have a chip in my print bed too and rafting makes the chip a non issue so I like that too.

As for taking the print off the raft I have never had any issues. Peels off with little effort.

I'm doing fine for the time being.

Isn't so very interesting that so many tinkerers can have such widely different experiences with the same equipment?

 

Call me a quitter but I took it off (wow did it put up a fight) I had yet another failed print due to lifting, its a nice idea but in practice evidently I'm just replacing one form of preparation with another.
