The Z-bed was not properly leveled (too close to the nozzle) and caused 2 prints to be worthless (guess which ones). The objects fall apart when peeling them off the heatbed because the first layers where too thin.
When the bed is leveled properly the printed object comes out fine and doesn't break (bottom-left).
The "hairspray-trick" gives me good adhesion for this size of objects. I'm curious how it will work on large objects.
Hairspray trick = properly clean the glass plate with acetone (or nail polish remover) and spray 3 layers of hairspray while letting each layer dry. Repeat after each print.
