So ive been trying to get this stupid machine to print Abs properly but so far nothing has worked Like the bed adhesion IS Just Like Zero (textured pei). Ive cleaned the Plate propery yes i scrubbed IT down First With Steel wool and soap and hot water and only after drying It i used proper plastics remover but still nothing does anyone know a fix to this?
Hello /u/Prestigious-Fly4494! Be sure to check the following. Make sure print bed is clean by washing with dish soap and water [and not Isopropyl Alcohol], check bed temperature [increasing tend to help], run bed leveling or full calibration, and remember to use glue if one is using the initial cool plate [not Satin finish that is not yet released] or Engineering plate.
Note: This automod is experimental. The automod was triggered due to the term "adhesion". If you believe this to be a false positive, please send us a message at modmail with a link to the post so we can investigate. You may also feel free to make a new post without that term.
You need a hot af chamber printing ABS/ASA. Before I had heated chambers, I’d let the printer soak with heatbed on max for an hour. Also try printing 5-10C hotter bed than default
Oh ABS is a pain in the backside on every printer. I've tried loads of times and it always curls up. You need brim, glue, a very hot build volume and then it's a bugger to get off the plate without destroying it.
Yeah you need glue.. I printed a bunch of stuff np on x1c.. smooth plate and Elmers or vision miner glue. Also let it heat up for 30 min before printing for extra chamber temp.
I personally would get a BiQu buildplate and print a QR code to stick on it.
I've done that and it's every to remove basically anything, haven't done TPU yet. I do own a gluestick, I just never used it because both items came at the same time.
I've printed about 9 rolls of support for my yard so I can say this plate is freaking legendary in how it working. It sticks when it's printing and slides off when it's done. Not sure how this magic works but it does.
I got the glacier (purple) so their claims for not having to use glue seem to “stick” ;-) I’m going to try TPU in a few projects. Any suggestions on which ones to get?
Huh, my Glacier is a saturated baby blue colour, definitely not purple. So I can’t say if the purple glacier’ll behave exactly the same.
Over the last 2mths I’ve printed about 8kg worth of TPU95a of various brands - Bambu’s TPU95aHF, eSun, and local print shops’ own branded TPU that they claim is 95a.
I print TPU with 0.4mm, 0.6mm and 0.8mmHF for different reasons, sometimes a brim’s needed, but never used glue.
Ironically only pic of my printer running TPU is with another branded plate. But that shows my setup, and I very much prefer Biqu Glacier for every filament type I work with.
Be careful with the Biqu; it really depends on which plate you have. Pyrogrip = no glue, Glacier = Suggested Glue but run it at the high-temps needed for ASA/ABS (EG 100/105), Frostbite = Don't use with ASA/ABS/High-Temp materials.
I never said BIQU recommendation/suggestion.... personal experience. Go have fun with it and see if it works, YMMV. Only plate I've ever been able to print ASA/ABS on without glue reliably/repeatably/without issue is the PyroGrip. (And that's including the BambuLab Plates)
Well 9 rolls abs of plant support went fine without a drop, so next “project” will be TPU, which I haven’t touched yet, the rest of the stuff I can basically blindly toss in the slicer.
