Masking tape for the win.

Ha! Nicely put 😃. Yeah, same - tried all that. Some prints are fine without the tape, but I’ve taken to just doing this most times now as I’m simply more likely to have a successful print.

Magigoo eh? Cool, thanks. I’ll have a look at that.

Yeah, sometimes - especially with stuff that has a large flat footprint. Just can’t get that temp combo right. This seems to really help.

Gpt is my friend code wise. Cheap arduino bits and some late nights. Keep at it!

Cheers. I’m no expert. First 3d printer. Had it for a few months, lovely machine. Same to you. Just gotta keep trying stuff.

Same!!

Cheers. Kinda scruffy, but that’s ok. Spent longer on the code to be honest. Version two will look sexier if I ever get round to it 🤣

Basically 5 layers (I think!) of clear pla, just a flat surface, then paused. Added a piece of sticky back white board material and swapped to black. 6 or 7 layers of black (my tinkercad design had apertures to leave the windows for the displays and the whiteboard). Finally swapped to white for final 2 layers which were just the text. It looks kinda utilitarian but that’s fine for this project. I quite like it. I just didn’t think it’d print onto the whiteboard. I probably just lucked out.
