Hi folks, well, I'm trying my hand at HIPS and I'm having a heck of a time. I finally got it to stick to the bed (after 10 attempts) but for the life of me, I can't get a decent first layer...
I am using a Taz5 with an Aerostruder head. Cura (latest version) and Gizmodorks Black HIPS.
I've messed with temps (both head and bed) and bed clearance. Nothing seems to really improve it. Here's a pic...
All suggestions appreciated.

Re: Poor HIPS printing
Have you printed anything with this tool-head before?
If not it's possible that your extruder e-steps are too high. A standard tool-head has about double the e-steps of the Aerostruder. So if that wasn't set when you flashed the firmware it's possible you are over-extruding.
What are you e-steps set to currently?

Re: Poor HIPS printing
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have printed in PLA successfully as well as PETG.
esteps are set to 420.
