What solved this problem for me was changing the "Tool change retraction distance" to 0.00 on the Advanced tab. I first tried selecting the "Relative extrusion distances" option, but that didn't help. I could be wrong, but It appears to me the value in "Tool change retractio...

For sticking to the bed... I think CompoundCarl was probably trying to refer you to the Z-offset value rather than speed. Look again at the link he provided, the second item titled "Nozzle starts too far away from the bed". Your print also looks to me like you might be over-extruding, and/...

Gear.jpg My settings: Extrusion temp: 235C Bed temp: 90C (This is PEI, with Uhu glue stick applied) Fan: Off for layer 1; On at 35% for layer 2+ I'm thinking the fan could be the difference, since your fan...
