Topic: Taulman Nylons, Glass, and a little elmers glue!

I was notified through email from Taulman that they have been experimenting with elmers glue on glass for printing nylon.

I ran out and bought some and tried it out. Ran some 645 and it seems to work damn good. I think with a brim I might be able to get away with no lifting. I was impressed with the results the way they were.

Instructions.

Apply thin layer of glue on CLEAN glass! Let dry completely naturally or with heat.
Be sure to let cool back to room temp.
Print!

All large prints were 50% infill.

Re: Taulman Nylons, Glass, and a little elmers glue!

I've had good results using my standard hairspray on glass technique with T-Glaze but have yet to figure out how to get 618 to stay put on anything long enough to print more than a couple layers. I've got an Elmers glue stick on the bench, I'll have to clean up one of the spare glass plates and give this a try, thanks for the tip!

P.S. - I noticed the small RC Helis in the background, I have a few shelves full of helis and multirotor quads in the man cave, mainly why I bought a 3D printer, to make parts for the multis!

Thank Taulman!

Garolite works well too if you are unhappy with the Elmers glue.

It can be a pain to remove it sticks to well though.

The glue seems to be about the right stick.

Re: Taulman Nylons, Glass, and a little elmers glue!

I like the idea of using Elmers glue.  Should save some time when printing small parts (not having to switch to garolite).  The last picture though is not an acceptable amount of warp in my opinion...

Re: Taulman Nylons, Glass, and a little elmers glue!

Yes, I agree. I didn't preform any calibration so it could have been a little light on the first layer in the front of the bed. I thinks with some brims it might be ok.

Yes it's going to come in handy for smaller quick prints.
