    Ok ever since out of the box my ROBO 3D is not printing. It has workiled sometimed at random occasions. Basicaly the printer is not printing. I have a thin layer of gluestick on the bed, but the extruder just makes an outline in it. Here is a picture. 1422052827210669905359.jpg As you can see its just going throught the glue. The APL is disabled and i have done the paper configuration. Please help!

    Turn your temperature above 195. Add a Z offset

    Slic3r and Matterslice both have options for Z Offsets.

    Otherwise use the M565 command in the Slice Settings > Printer > (Show all settings must be checked) > Custom Gcode > Start Gcode section

    eg

    Code:
    M565 Z-1.0    ;Adds a 1.0mm Z offset, more negative value is further from the bed
    The Z-1.0 value is arbitrary. Most users find good luck around Z-0.7 whereas others need to go as high as Z-1.2
