Just done my first test print, Marvin, and I too had melting issues. Never printed small objects so never came into "melting" problems on my models. In...

Sorry, what is being asked? "You can't print a full "cuboid" using 100% of your print volume in ABS as you don't have an enclosed/heated print space to...

I think your first z-height needs lowering at least. That first layer looks too high, just a tad. Try lowering your speed only to 20mm/s and see if the...

I had issues with blue tape on a heated bed - would always come away from the print bed during the print. Only use blue tape on a non-heated bed. But t...

We could do with seeing a picture of your first layer of the raft. That will tell us a lot about if this is a z-issue, a tape issue, filament issue etc...
