It looked cool, but it was uneven and no part was the actual designed height. With the painters tape and glue stick, the entire top printed with a slow curved top, tallest in the center. i.e.: one of my pieces is a 4' cylinder with a center 2' hole that I first printed upside down. that's hot!), causing the PLA to be applied at a different heights, resulting in distortions in the printed piece. When printing larger, denser models, the painters tape can and does lift up due to the concentrated heat (the PLA and extruder head are both 220Вє. I almost always print with a raft or brim.

I found that I can wrap the tape around the platform sides and have it held tightly, which helps. I always cover the printing bed with blue painters tape and, even when using the supplied glue stick to give the PLA (I use Hatchbox PLA+) extra hold, the heat can cause the tape loose its tack and come up as the plastic cools, which can warp the print.
