Experience with Bed Adhesion Agents
Adhesion scale:
- Hopeless - didn't adhere at all
- Evidence of adhesion, but parts come loose too easily
- Blue tape-like adhesion - sticks well but some issues with warping and/or occasional parts coming loose from bed
- Superior to blue tape - stays flat, very few issues with parts loosening
- Kryptonite bond - parts almost never come loose
Finish scale:
- Blue tape-like mottled finish or adhesion agent sticks to part on removal from platform
- Intermediate - glassy and mottled or some adhesion agent comes off with part
- Glassy smooth
Ambient bed temperature indicates the bed was unheated.
PLA Adhesion
Platform Material | Bed T, °C | Adhesive | Adhesive UPC | Adhesion | Finish | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PET tape | Ambient | Scholastic® glue stick | TBD | 4 | 2 | Required occasional reapplication, gentle wipe with wet towel refreshed surface nicely. |
Glass mirror | Ambient | Scholastic® glue stick | TBD | 4 | 2 | More frequent reapplication than with PET tape, didn't respond as well to wet towel. |
Window glass | Ambient | Elmers® spray adhesive | TBD | 5 | 1 | Sharpened putty knife needed for removal and readily stuck to part. |
Glass mirror | Ambient | Scotch® purple glue stick Cat. 6115 | 5113159109 | TBD | TBD | TBD |
Glass mirror | Ambient | Elmers® Washable Diappearing Purple School Glue Stick E523 | 2600000523 | TBD | TBD | TBD |
Glass mirror | Ambient | Suave® extreme hold hairspray | 7940018158 | 2 | 3 | Unreliable adhesion |
Window glass | Ambient | Tresemme® TBD hairspray | TBD | 1 | NA | No evidence of adhesion. |
ABS Adhesion
Platform Material | Bed T, °C | Adhesive | Adhesive UPC | Adhesion | Finish | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Window glass | 100 | Blue tape | TBD | 4 | 2 | Required occasional reapplication, gentle wipe with wet towel refreshed surface nicely. |
Window glass | Ambient | PLA raft on blue tape | NA | 3 | 1 | Worked well with small part, need testing with larger parts. |
