Re: ABS on Glass with abs juice
I've been using this method for a few months now, but I use a pretty heavily concentrated ABS solution. I tried the lighter concentrate, and that seems to work fine - but more often than not, I...

I'm trying this ABS juice method but having mixed result. So far, I'm having the best adhesion with thin juice applied on a cold bed before heating to 90C and printing. It's quite good when the print...
View ArticleRe: ABS on Glass with abs juice
try thicker juice, it should dry to a film. also your extrusion temp seems low for ABS, should be above 230.
View ArticleRe: ABS on Glass with abs juice
Thanks for the response. I always thought that the lower one can extrude at, the better? Also, does the extrusion temperature affects bed adhesion? I would think bed temp is more critical. Also, at...

You could use the slicer to set the extrusion temp higher for the first layer, then back to your standard for the rest of the print. Or just raise the heated bed temp, I can get ABS to stick to plain...

If you get a part printed on Kapton or any other tape for that matter that adheres too much, the tape doesn't help you remove it. The tape adhesive is very strong when it has a large surface area in...
