PET tape has solved all my ABS problems, even without an enclosure.

I am printing off my first part with Taulmann Bridge. I am printing an octopus from thingiverse that takes ~1 hour. At ~30 minutes the tentacles started curling off the build plate. I am printing at 255* with a 85* bed. Anything else I can do to help the print?

I am still having problems with the bridge material curling and coming off the build plate. Any pointers for this material?

I am hardly an authority on nylon but i have printed a couple spools of 618 and one of bridge and i can say nylon warps plain and simple. Bridge bonds to the plate more consistantly but it will still warp. No stoppin it

Garolite. It's ridiculously tacky vs. Nylon.

Does NinjaFlex need any glue, tape, hairspray, etc. to stick well to the print bed?

Sticks great to hairspray. I dont know about other methods. Im sure it sticks to blue tape as well but i use spray almost exclusively. It just plain works for about everything.

Don't use it with Kapton unless it's a very thin part. A postage-stamp sized piece peeled up the Kapton from my bed.

Yeah i did some test prints and took measurements and there is some shrinkage. 1.8% to be exact on a 100% solid part. Surprisingly though i didnt have any warp problems.

Can I print PETG on V3B? And what is PETG? The only filament I can find is PET+? Is it the same?

and where to choose layer height in S3D settings??

Yes, but PETG's desired temp is at the upper end of what I'd run the V3b at (245), so be careful and make sure your fans are on.

PET+ is very similar to PETG. You can find PETG from eSUN, sold by INTSERVO (William) on Amazon or at intservo.com
