Dear Jamreacho,
Thank you for writing this up. My bed has been mostly ok for larger prints, but I have had issues with crumbling parts, and first layer PLA being near impossible to remove.
I will work through your tutorial with my two boys this week and give any appropriate feedback.
It may be too advanced for your document or could be a version 2, but I am looking at custom Gcode “tips & tricks” for using Simplify3D and learning about Linear Advance calibration to get a custom K-Value for more uniform corners and transitions.
Thank you so much for your efforts and sharing with the community,
-Monterey
