I can see you have the Creaity glass bed I think - That "sticky" side works well for PLA (for a while) but when you get to ABS/ASA temps it will Magically stop working (forever). The cure is to flip it over and print on the glass - Using a "sticky goo" as mentioned. Glue stick works great for PLA.. My goto for ABS is a mix of white glue, icing sugar and water. Odd mix but works well - I will find the data for you.
dual z was an upgrade. i think i paid $25 on amazon for it. i need to level the z and mark the couplers so i can tell if the two lead screws get out of sync (which could happen if the printer is off and someone messes with it). the other upgrades i got are a one piece extruder, filament out switch, upgraded bed springs, and cr touch sensor. i have a beaglebone black around here somewhere i may press into service running octoprint too.

thanks for the tech support so far. looking forward to squeexzing molten pla later today.
