Topic: abs slurry question

is ABS slurry just a thin layer of ABS once you apply it to your bed and let it dry?
Is the acetone gone?
Otherwise sounds dangerous having acetone on a heated bed.

Re: abs slurry question

Acetone evaporates very quickly and totally.  It's best to add the slurry to cool bed and not take the chance.   Some of the ABS may retain a tiny smell for a short time but it is residual and will go away when the piece is fully "set".  I have lots of experience with ABS in the pipe form.

Re: abs slurry question

Thanks. So in the end the point is printing on ABS which itself is very well bond to the bed already?
