A must have for SmartFil
This 3D printer bed adhesive is specialy formulated for use with SmartMaterials SmartFil Polypropylene, and your key to proper first layer adhesion to your print surface. This is a powerful adhesive - so please follow these steps to get the most out of your SmartStick:
- Remove the internal seal from the bottle
- Apply the adhesive evenly across your entire print bed, creating a thin film across the entire area you will be using for your print
- Remember to put the cap back on the bottle, it will dry out otherwise!
- Print!
- Due to the strength of SmartStick, you may have to remove the part and print surface as one unit and use water to loosen the adhesive
- In many cases the adhesive will last for many prints but will eventually need to be replaced. Soak the print bed in warm water and remove the adhesive with a spatula. Once the plate is clean, reapply and keep printing!
Questions
Can this be used to make DOW OBC filament stick to a glass buildplate? In lieu of polypropylene packing tape, that is.
I often switch between printing with PP and other materials like ABS and PLA. It is a pain (and waste) to have to remove the PP after each print to flip my glass plate over to the PEI. Can this also help PLA and ABS parts stick or will it actually make it worse?
How do you remove this glue from a glass plate? It worked wonderfully on holding down a large PP print. Now I need to clean the glue off the plate and hot water with soap wont take it off.
I tried the hot water and scraper as the manufacturer stated. Also did not come off. I tried goof off, but that ended up just ruining my $40 bambu build plate. This is now my permanent PP print plate.
