What to do! So gluestick is disgusting and leaves a gloppy mess on the bed that has to be painstakingly cleaned up periodically and leaves the bottom of prints gross. Hairspray makes beautiful prints, but makes my whole printer look absolutely disgusting due to overspray. Anyone have a solution to this? I currently use PEI, and I don't need to use any sort of adhesive for PLA, but I don't only print in PLA. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758760#msg-758760 Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:39:16 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758842#msg-758842 Re: What to do! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758842#msg-758842 Even as "tight" as my printer is I can lean on my glass desk and see about a .001"-.003" deflection on my print bed with a indicator on the X carriage.

Id end up spending more on mods than my printer is worth so for me glue works good and I never have a print let go.]]> Floyd Reprappers Mon, 27 Mar 2017 20:00:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758841#msg-758841 Re: What to do! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758841#msg-758841
Are you looking for another magic formula or a real solution to the problem?

Are you willing to spend the money and apply the effort to actually fix the problem?]]> the_digital_dentist Reprappers Mon, 27 Mar 2017 19:20:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758840#msg-758840 Re: What to do! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758840#msg-758840
For ABS you can use "ABS juice" , for nylon I use sanded bakelite without any kind of glue.

If you get it to stick it to the bed, simple white paper is good for most materials but then again you will have to glue it and is a pain to remove from prints.

If you ever find the best solution let me know.......]]> ggherbaz Reprappers Mon, 27 Mar 2017 19:07:50 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758796#msg-758796 Re: What to do! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758796#msg-758796 I dont have a mess of it and it cleans up real fast under some warm water.]]> Floyd Reprappers Mon, 27 Mar 2017 14:51:06 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758760#msg-758760 What to do! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,758760,758760#msg-758760 rich1051414 Reprappers Mon, 27 Mar 2017 12:44:26 -0400
