So you applied this at 100c, but printed at 60c?

I've been looking for some new forms of bed adhesion for a while, as I like to print small parts usually that have overhangs close to the bed, and the combined heat of the heater and nozzle make the plastic too pliable, leading to a lot of curling and smooshing of the print (Technical terms....)

I've had great success using ABS juice on glass/kapton @ 60c bed temp, but this often ruins the kapton when you lift it up and leaves an ugly bottom side to the print. Have you tried printing larger items other then the honeycomb, eg, the frog on thingiverse? This is something I've struggled to print with ABS (small, no overhangs).

Thanks for the information.

Have you tried this with a smaller part? We usually have no problems with a coating of paper glue (such as pritt-stick) but its nice to know of other methods.


Cheers,
