Printing nylon on glass bed
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 9:08 am
So I am new to this whole 3d printing game and I got some taulman 618 nylon to print some functional parts with and found out the hard way that it warps and does not stick well to the glass bed I tried a few different things and then I had an idea! I had tried the glue stick but it wouldn't hold bigger parts without pulling free. I saw someone talking about using some kind of wood board to print on but how it was annoying because the wood gets stuck in the first layer and also requires you to reset your Z zero.
Anyway I decided to just use Elmer's glue stick to glue down a sheet of printer paper to the glass bed!
Its amazing! Holds awesome and when you remove the part it tears the paper in half but to clean up use a damp cloth and the paper and glue fall apart and you just wipe it off. Leaves a very nice finish on the bottom of the parts as well.
Takes a little while longer then just printing on the bed but time well spent in my opinion.
Hope this helps someone who was having the same issues I have had.
