Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

I feel you - I ran an Ender 3 for 5 years but now I have an A1 and honestly don't miss all the endless tinkering. Learned a hell of a lot in the process. No complaints about the Ender, it was a rock solid machine - now it has a new life as a laser engraver, courtesy of the Creality 1.6w laser attachment which works nice.
