If your using abs then spray some hairspray on the print bed a few seconds before it prints you want it sticky but not to wet. It helps to keep corners from curling, and I use a business card and exacto to pry it off by twisting the knife under one of the edges, the card will help to keep from damaging the kapton tape. With pla it should stick fine maybe hairspray if you have troubles. I have never personally used the painters tape. I’ve had my Dreamer about 3 years. I also recommend buying a roll of Kapton tape I’ve damaged mine a few times and have had to replace it, the roll will last you years and it’s cheap. And clean the hairspray off the print bed when it starts to build up or if your getting sticking problems. I use isopropyl alcohol and acetone not mixed but individually. Pla prints much better than abs. I have had a lot of failed prints with abs until you get all the quirks figured out.
