People have reported that double sided carpet tape works but I have not tried that myself.

I found that Scotch Super 77 spray adhesive worked pretty well, when sprayed onto blue painter's tape and allowed to dry, but it did make quite a challenge of removing the print.

Even though it sticks to it, won't warping be an issue?

@MikeyK, if it sticks well it can't warp.

Just to be more specific: If it sticks well, the corners won't lift. Large prints may still warp in other ways.

A 10mm thick perspex print bed works very well with ABS.

You must not print PLA direcly onto the perspex bed as it bonds too well.

So for printing PLA on a perspex bed you must stick Blue painters tape onto the perspex bed first.

Thing is, my ABS seems to bond TOO WELL as well on perspex/PMMA. Can't unstick the little ABS drops !

-> is there a solvent for ABS and not for PMMA ?

Has anyone tried perspex/plexiglass with a HBP?

Trying to decide whether to go with a HBP/glass/perspex or HBP/glass/Kapton tape print surface for ABS

I've had spectacular results with HBP/glass with PLA.
