    Small and medium models print fine, but when I get to larger models, they tend to fail after 20 minutes when it loses contact with the print bed. I've used the glue stick. I've used Aqua Net. I've used BOTH! I've tried rotating the model. But it seems that all I'm doing is wasting filament. It seems like the print bed may be shaking too much, breaking the print's contact with the bed.

    Any suggestions?

    What do you mean shaking to much? Hows the 1st layer look? Software your using for slicing ? Which robo printer do you own? R1 ? R1+? What kind of filament ? Bed temp and extruder temp ?

    Once my glass bed did something similar. One of the magnets fell off and raised one corner. I had to glue it back on then my problem went away.

    If by shaking you mean the bed movement... sorry, it is what it is.
    If you mean the print is shaking then you need to work on getting it stuck better.
    Elephant ears, raft (ugh -- hate raft) or just slow the print speed down.
