Can't seem to get my prints to stick to my mirror with abs juice no matter what I do.
I tried a smooth surface, I tried roughing it up with a grinder, I tried many mixes of abs and acetone but the fumes are getting out of control so I tried the blue painters tape on the ground mirror and then scrape finger mails in all directions to smooth out any tiny bubbles and the prints stick so well, I have trouble removing them from the tape and the tape from the glass.
This normally destroys the tape but the prints don't warp
I start prints with bed at 110 and hot end at 260 and turn hot end down to 230 after the first few layers.
Another thing I've found is 200 works if you are having small areas looking melted.
I'll try the abs or beer later but I've wasted too much time on it for for now.

Hey Franklin.
Definitely abs. Pla would be a soup at 270. I've used pla in the past and it sticks no worries. Also pla prints with a shiny finish but thanks for the reply.
