So you turned the heated bed off in manual control and you changed the g code to M190 S0 and nothing still happens? Does the printer home itself on the x,y and z axis? Does repetier host show the extruder heating up OK? If you manually extrude the filament in manual control does it come out of the print head? Carl

I would recommend using a raft for each print. I have a pair of tweezers I use.Once I do the manual extrusion before the print starts I use the tweezers to remove the filament strand. Otherwsie this can prevent afhesion as the print head drags a piece of PLA across the bed. The benefit of a raft is if the filament doesnt stick right away it wont affect your print because it will just be the first part of the raft that doesnt stick. I would also make sure the temp of the extruder is at 210-220 for PLA. Carl
