I've had a sheet of BuildTak for about 5 months and still haven't slapped it on. Sounds promising, but if you have a heated bed, you would get optimal ABS performance no higher than 60c from what I was told by the totally awesome salesguy who gave it to me for free with complete honesty.

Ah yes, it was BuildTak. For some reason I thought I read in that same thread that it made it possible to print without heating the bed. Guess I was mistaken though. Thanks for the link!

I don't know of anything that will work for ABS without a heated bed. There was another post talking about BuildTak a while back which sounded promising, but I'm pretty sure it didn't say anything about not needing a heated bed.

For PLA lots of people seem to use blue painters tape, but that does nothing useful with ABS.

I heard about some tape that you can put on your print bed that makes it possible to print ABS without heating the bed. I'd really like to get some, but I can't remember for the life of me what it's called... Anyone know what I'm talking about?
