The key is also to have the good distance between the head and the bed. Since I set the good gap between them I don’t have stick problem anymore. Also you have to set a 150/200% width for the first layer, if you have a 0.4mm nozzle it should print a good large and flat layer 0.6mm width for example if it’s look like a round line then you are too far from the bed!
I have a solution:
Use this special ABS sheet. It is like “buildtac” but much cheaper and if you treat it nicely you can get more uses out of the same sheet.
How it works is that there is a layer of weaker ABS on a PCB sheet. The printed ABS filament bonds well to it, yet separates easily since the sheet’s ABS bond is weaker.
If you sit down and add up all the money and time wasted using tapes, sprays, and glues, it makes a lot more sense just to use a low cost sheet that will give you reliable results.

hi have you tried double sided kapton tape ? rick
Hi Rick, personally I have not, but I have used single sided and also experimented with double sided sticky tape. I found above 60 degrees Celsius the stickiness became too soft and the brim would lift off. Removing Kapton is a pain in the back side. This is what I really love about the ABS sheet. You can remove and add it quickly without any mess. Happy printing!
How long will this PEI tape last if it never gets scratched?
I have great results with 1/4 inch glass and hair spray, but if PEI can last a very long time; I may want to try it out!

Hello Brian,
At 3Bros3DPrints, we print with a metal bed and have found the best way to print ABS with minimal to no lifting is having a bed temp of 125C and a good first layer. Disable any fans as well as that is a big factor in prints lifting and layers not setting properly. Hope this helps,
