The stuff you want is the pipe cement SOLVENT.&nbsp; Not the cement.&nbsp; That way you can add as much ABS as you wish.&nbsp; Something like skim milk works for us.&nbsp; Hairspray 1st.&nbsp; Then sauce.</p><p>4. To remove a part that big, remove the glass plate from the Doodle while it is hot.&nbsp; Set it down glass side up.&nbsp; You can watch the part separate as the glass plate cools (the part shrinks and the bond fails).&nbsp; Trying to remove it immediately is difficult and not worth the risk to the part, the glass and several arteries in your fingers.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I have 2 suggestions:<br />1. I have posted this around this board before, so it is starting to sound like a skipping record.&nbsp; Use an ABS slurry over the hairspray, but make the ABS slurry using ABS pipe cement solvent available at the hardware store.&nbsp; The MEK in the solvent welds the ABS to the hairspray.&nbsp; Acetone does not.&nbsp; Since the hairspray sticks to the glass really well, you now have a complete bond from part to bed.&nbsp; I print large parts like that all the time on a 95°C bed.&nbsp; This may be all you need to solve your problem.</p><p>2. You can put 1cm counterbores all over the inside of your enclosure that leave ~1mm wall thickness.&nbsp; This will break up the linear shrink stress that causes the warping.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>Look at the sliced model and iterate the counterbore depth to leave complete extruder paths so that there is no zig-zag infill in the remaining wall.&nbsp; If you are successful then you won&#039;t see them on the outside of the part.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey agentsmith here&#039;s another trick that no one mentioned, glue stick!</p><p>There&#039;s several benefits over hair spray, you can put it much more accurately (for instance just in the edges of your print), you can apply it with the glass already inside the printer, it wipes of with just water and because it is REAL glue, it sticks to the glass all the time.</p><p>The only disadvantage really is that you have to reapply on every print but if anything else fails or it&#039;s too complicated it&#039;s worth a try.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>you should be able to get this print with a little playing.&nbsp; I have warping problems but only when doing large and tall objects that are pretty solid.&nbsp; I dont have a trip like you do in yours.&nbsp; I run my print bed between 115 and 118 all the time.&nbsp; I can run it hotter but i have never tried to push it to see what the hottest it will run is.&nbsp; If i want a REALLY good grip i set my first layer to .175 and it really smashes down that first layer.&nbsp; At that point its as good as i can get it with glass and hairspray and i have pretty good success.&nbsp; Im sure you will get this one with just a bit of tinkering.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>105C with no brim didn&#039;t work, but 110C with 4mm brim worked!</p><p>Unfortunately no one warned me about the MAXTEMP safety switch, which tripped in the middle of print when it reached (after 2 hours) 110C. I&#039;ve also noticed adhesion improves when you already printed over a couple of times on fresh coat of hairspray</p><p>So this is the result...

			<description><![CDATA[<p>thank you for all your overwhelming support guys!</p><p>Yes I have an enclosure and my first layer is calibrated, as well as the bed. I used the paper method, I hate it because it almost destroyed the printer, the limit switch doesn&#039;t limit z-travel with manual commands...</p><p>To be able to print without the brim would be a dream!</p><p>To sum it up, here&#039;s what I&#039;m going to try, and keep you updated:</p><p>- warm the bed at 100-110C and give the glass time to warm as well. Will check with IR thermometer even if I know it&#039;s not a reliable tool (Elmoret said it countless times hehe)<br />- increase extrusion multiplier (calibration cube has 0.39mm thickness instead of 0.42)<br />- lower first layer height for a more squished first layer<br />- increase brim width to 7mm<br />- try the ABS slurry or a different brand of hairspray - sorry I don&#039;t think they sell Aquanet in Europe</p><p>Other tests:<br />- try the artist brush trick to melt the brim<br />- replace glass with ceramic tile (but the brick and mortar store sells only 20 tiles per pack haha)<br />- use PLA (but this introduces other issues compared to ABS)</p>]]></description>
