*'''Always Watch the First Layer!''' If a print doesn't start well, it's not going to end well.
**If a print has more delicate features or overhangs that you think has a chance to fail, watch it more closely and check in on it.
*Plates:
**Textured plate - good for PLA and most plastics. The rough surface helps plastic hold on well. Does not require any glue.
**Smooth plate - good for ABS, Nylon, and more difficult high-temp materials. Usually needs a thin layer of gluestick to help parts adhere.
**Cleaning - these need to be cleaned from time to time, either soap and water or isopropyl alcohol are effective.

Common Issues:
*Filament jam
**If the filament roll is getting stuck in the AMS:
***Roll is almost empty: try adding a desiccant pod in the inner space of the spool to help weight it down. When the spool is almost empty it becomes very easy for it to tip inside the AMS because it is so light.
*Print not sticking
**If using a textured plate
***Clean the plate with soap and water. Dry thoroughly. Try print again.
**If using a smooth plate
***Add a thin layer of glue stick and let it dry. Try print again.
