You print on glass or glue stick on the bed adhesive? I got some good first layers on the bed adhesive, but once I had glass dialed down and was using hairspray, dear lord was the first layer basically a mirror.
PEI sheet stuck to creality glass. I had the creality glass for a bit til I took a chunk out of it with just PLA which was surprising.

I don't use anything on it. Just clean it with ISO after every print. I mainly do PLA, PETG and TPU.

Got the wiring pass through system finalized on the gantry.
I also knocked it out of the park on the Belt tensioning set up for the y axis belt. Twangs like a gitar.

Don't mind the clamp plate that's Askew I goofed on the relief to clear the linear bearing housing.

Backside view. Really hard to fit it into the frame....

about to give TPU a try on this BIQU H2. so far it handled PLA and PETG without a hiccup. especially after I printed a better mount setup.

The next thing I am going to do is clean the Z rod, add silicone rubber instead of springs, and add spring loaded anti-backlash nuts for the Z rod. I have some Z issues that hopefully resolve it.

This stuff is cool. Little bit softer then 95a. Gonna try some coasters too.

Octopus came out good. And this is at 40MM/s and PLA retraction settings. Definitely recommend the BIQU H2 hotend at this point.
