[ancient valley]

I have near perfect z offset and glue stick but still it doesnt stick

Also a glass bed

[long star]

Wdym doesn’t stick?

@ancient valley

[ancient valley]

It doesnt stick to bed

[long star]

Like prints then falls off later?

[ancient valley]

First layer doesnt stick very well it goes up a little and the nozzle peels it

[long star]

Humm

What glue are you using?

[long star]

Do you have acetone?

[ancient valley]

Yes

[long star]

Do a mix of acetone and asa

It will turn in to a glue that should work

[ancient valley]

Okay lemme try

[long star]

Make sure it half melted ice cream thickness

Not all glue stick works btw. I have had terrible results with some and amazing result with others.

You can also try hairspray

Asa/abs slurry works, but is a bit messy

[ancient valley]

Sadly i run out of hairspray

And my acetone isnt strong enough

[real zodiac]

Is it expensive over there?

Which other brand of glue stick is available?

[ancient valley]

Which one acetone

Or glue

[real zodiac]

Hair spray

[ancient valley]

Nah i could get some

[real zodiac]

Ok cool

[ancient valley]

But it is intersting that it doesnt stick noe

[real zodiac]

Clean your bed properly

With IPA

[ancient valley]

But i had z offset lower than it should be it works but with elephant foot

[real zodiac]

Just before print and don't touch it with bare hands

[ancient valley]

Okay

[real zodiac]

Oils from your hands will affect bed adhesion

What's your chamber temperature at?

[ancient valley]

0

I dont have a chamber

[storm dew]

Well that's a problem

[ancient valley]

I could cover it with blankes tho

[storm dew]

I don't bother starting a print with Asa until my chamber hits 35c

[ancient valley]

Now i have a chamber

[storm dew]

That should help

[ancient valley]

Looks like a ghost tho

[storm dew]

Hopefully that's enough to help

[long star]

Use asa with acetone mix or hair spray with a brim or a raft and it should work

[ancient valley]

Yes it is about 35 c in there

[long star]

Do the acetone and asa or hair spray and do a brim aswell

[ancient valley]

The acetone isnt dtrong enough

Also this is a test print in the ellis guide so i have no control

[real zodiac]

What's your bed temp for asa?

[ancient valley]

85 c

[storm dew]

I use a 110c bed for abs and Asa.

[ancient valley]

Lemmw try that vay

[ancient valley]

It is better now but i am exhausted so i am done with printing today

[blissful gale]

Have you tried Blue Tape? It is a time consuming set up but cheap and uses the physical micro voids on the tape to create the adhesion. Might be worth a shot if you have a decent brand of it on hand.

[ancient valley]

I want to buy some earlier but couldnt find it

[eager dirge]

That glue doesn't work, I have tested, for ASA the best one I have tried is Kores glue stick

[real zodiac]

For me "mon ami" or "bostick" works well
