Re: [Potteries Hackspace] 3d printer bed adhesion

[simonjhalliday]

Yo folks! Im still alive after a summer of crazy and should be back down in the next week or two.

Are u having bed adhesion problems? I had this too and agree with Sarah, glass on a heated bed is the answer, I bought a roll of kapton tape wide enough for the glass and havent had any problems since. If i remember Ill bring the roll along so you can try it out. 

Cheers

Si

Blue painters tape on the bed, with cheap sticky hairspray afterwards works (I use Asda's own brand which is brilliant for this).  Also, the build plate has to be as level / flat as you can get it.  I just bought a glass build plate that I had made from a local glazers for about a fiver, the postage for the official one would have been $18 from the usa.  It should be about 6mm thick, however mine is 8mm thick, and I got it made 1" wider all round so there's a slight overhang so I don't have to worry about getting the centreing of the print head bang on centre.

Well remembered Jib, I'll have a look at this a bit later.

Hopefully Paul and Tom will also see this and can add comment...

Hi Si,

I've been trying to keep up with you on Facebook, looks like you've had a great time!

We've had lots of things going on at the space while you've been away, so it'll be good to catch up soon.

We've got some glass now, Paul has said he's got a cutter and is going to try and cut it down, but as it might be toughened glass it may just shatter.

We were talking about what tape would be best, so that'd be handy if we could try your stuff.

I won't be here on Tuesday, but the other guys will open up.

See you soon.
