lemon juice vs. fingerprints on glass

Hi guys,
I want to share a observation I made:
I regularly clean the glass doors of my terrariums with bottled lemon juice. It helps a lot to get rid of those chalk stains from spraying water to raise humidity.

Anyways, I also use it to clean the glassplate of my printer and the PLA parts really stick well afterwards.
Not only all fingerprints, sweat, tears and whatnot are gone, but also the lemon juice leaves a thin layer of sticky sugar on the glass.
( Actually sugar is the ingredient in hairspray that made it so helpful for us )

happy printing

That's an interesting tip, I think I am going to try it. I would certainly expect lemon juice to be more environment friendly than hairspray (and it should smell better too)!

On cold bed or heated?
I would be interested if it works on cold bed (I don't have a heated one).

A friend of mine uses water+sugar on heated bed, he says it is the easiest and more durable method to make PLA stick.

Haven´t tried it on a cold bed, yet. Would take forever to get dry....

Today I tried to print a huge LCD2004 cover. It took 4 hours and came out warped at all 4 edges
Would it be better to try it on a cold bed?

I don't think so...
