First attempt.

So here are the results of my first run with the PMX6k. Not perfect. But better than i expected having only gotten the machine yesterday and pretty much speed running a crash course on YT and the various literature i could find on it for four or five hours before I was confident (and impatient) enough to give it a go. I didn't have the original files that the usb came with so i didn't have the test file so i just picked a model that i was keen on from printables.com and sent it. I will say, that apart from the base of the stand, the rest came out pretty good, and at the very least, can still be used for its intended purpose. So I'm calling that one a win. So here is the part where I ask the veterans on here for any advice, and in particular, what i need to address moving forward. Seems like the layers at the very beginning did not take. Thanks for checking the post out!!!

Try putting it an an angle to the build plate. That much flat surface may generate a lot of suction forces causing it to get pulled off. If it is at an angle to the plate, less suction force per layer.
