Guess that takes care of that and not sticking/warping problem! Stuck so well not even my spatula could remove it. Both pieces broke and I can’t get their remnants of the glass
What is that? ABS on hairspray?
Abs on abs juice. Think it’s s combination of nozzle too close with lower than usual layer late height, and I put abs juice on a few days ago to print and heated the bed to 123 c forgot it and a few hours later I had to leave. So I turned it off. Few days later (yesterday) I heat the bed up, with the probably now cured abs juice still on it, and print for five hours. I turned the machine off and allowed the print to slow cool. This usually makes it release on its own with much crackling noise. Not this time lol
Ah, I never had any success with ABS juice. Clearly I had something wrong. And you had it too right.
@Dale_Dunn I have to apply it to the glass cold. And then put it on the heated bed. Mine is in a nightquil bottle and mixed until it is just milky. I apply it with a cotton ball by first wetting the cotton with the juice. And scrubbing the surface. This allows the acetone to remove the oils. Then I wet the cotton again and do 3 strokes from top to bottom, with the streaks touching, then redip and continue. Repeating every 3 passes. Then again from the oposite edge. Heat it to temp. And level the bed (if you took the glass off) I level with a single sheet of paper till it just drags when I move the paper. I believe it was a little tighter when it stuck like glue
Thanks for the tips. I get a little tired of the Kapton from time to time.
@Dale_Dunn Removing the parts kept tearing my polymide tape or pulling it up putting bubbles under it. I had to try something easier and its less expensive to boot
Since finding a Hairspray that worked, I’ve had none of these issues. It sticks like crazy on a hot bed and comes of easily when cold. The trick is to find really cheap extra hold Hairspray.
@Tim_Rastall what brand do you u se?
No brand - so cheap it doesn’t have one :). I think the rule is that if you would consider using it as a hair product, it’s too expensive 
@D_Rob , try putting it in the fridge or something to chill it - but someplace shattering won’t be a hard cleanup. Parts should come off easier the cooler they are. Or, I’ve always wanted to try this: put it back on the printer - and make a gcode file to turn on your bed, wait 'till it reaches 80C, then cool back to room temp…make it go through that cycle 5-6x, see if that loosens it up.
@ThantiK I did try the freezer before it broke. It’s the damndest thing. I have had parts reluctant to release before and the freezer always worked before and that was even on kapton.but this one is like super glue. I keep 6 12 x 12 glass plates for oopsies and whatnot and reprinted the protos without incident so I guess this mystery stays in the twilight zone unsolved. lol Thanks for the assist though
Ive broken at least 15 plates this way. Ive taken to completely cleaning it with acetone and reapplying abs juice between prints. I dont print all day every day though so its not a big deal for me.
If it’s abs, why don’t you just use acetone on the glass? I had a part which stuck to kapton tape (had a abs juice mix on it). Wife designed and printed a cup with a flat base about 4"/10cm across. It would just not come off, to the point when trying to remove it, the print broken in half horizontally. I ended up pouring acetone in to the base of it to dissolve it and also painting some acetone around the edge of the base and it eventually lifted.
@Daniel_Porter thanks next time i may try this
@Ryan_Hescock_Stanos yeah, I hope this wont become a regular occurrence for me as I do R&D for an invention company so prototyping and printing for me is pretty steady. That and printing parts for my new bot.
