No more GLUE Stick by ceri

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I have had a 3D printer for a few years now,
and the one consistent problem has been getting my print to stick to the bed,
and if it does, removing it, without damage, to the print, or print bead.
Over the years, I started with blue tape (cold), with mixed results, normally OK for the first 5 prints,
Hairspray - for me a fail - on glass, and even on top of blue tape.

PVA wash, messy,and unpredictable, and also poor bottom on prints, on glass, normally hot.

Poly-carbonate, sheet, cold, unpredictable, and if first layer is a little too low, print gets fused to the sheet.

Capton tape, hot, usually the first 1 to 3 prints are OK, but larger prints can suddenly detach.
but very shinny bottoms.

Glue stick, so far the best, but still get some curling on prints 60+mm long/wide.

My revilation ...

3D-EEZso far, (after a little learning curve) I am having AMAZING prints,
and I know it sounds silly, but I do believe the rest of the print is better.

You don't get a super glass shiny capton bottom, but it is smooth, see photo of my new part for http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1091057

just get some ...

I just got the smaller pot, which I think will last quite some time,

Unfortunately there is not a current UK distributor anymore, but I hope someone will start re-selling soon,
