Topic: Excelvan Glow in the Dark ABS settings?

Hi, I have a spool of this filament I wonder if anyone has managed to get it to stick to their bed? I have tried various temps from 210 - 225 for the extruder and 90 - 105 for the bed but it will not adhere to the blue tape I have on my bed.
When I try printing it does not stick and just bunches up around the extruder pulling itself in  to a hot mess.
The XYZ filament goes down and sticks perfectly.

I am using a da vinci 1.0 with repetier 0.92

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Cheers Shane

Re: Excelvan Glow in the Dark ABS settings?

So is you Z height calibrated to .15 or less? For Abs I keep my bed at 110 but I also print on glass with a mist of hair spray.  The Z height will be the most important and make sure the tape is clean.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
