I print on my printrbot makers kit using radioshack filament at 200c and i use .2064 as my layer height most of the time because that is what the prusa calculator reccomended.

Radio Shack sells filament? Besides that I thought their stores were already locked up. If there’s still one open somewhere, I might experiment on my 5th Gen.
I have the exact same printer and PLA, and have had no problem - I bought a bunch from Radio Shack - $4/kg when it got down to the last few! I use 210° and 70° for the print bed. Works fine.
First thank you all for the help looks like the minimal layer at 50 and 50 travel speed mm/s with 0.1 layer hight mm
is working better but now not sticking to the bed
What is on the bed? It looks like there is something on the blue tape. With the unheated bed, I found that I needed to use plain white masking tape, instead of blue masking tape. I would get corners peeling up with the blue tape on an unheated bed. Also, try lightly sanding the blue tape.
As mentioned by someone else, the z probe is pretty critical as well. I’ve had to go as far as M212 Z-0.62 before I had the proper depth, but start at M212 Z-0.2 and go down by .02 at at time, so: -0.2, test print; -0.22, test print; -0.24, test print, etc.
