Topic: If you have bed adhering issues

I've been having adheing issues especially on bigger prints that would get unstuck. I tried different hair sprays and glue sticks, some performed better than others but still had issues and lots of reprints.
Finally tried 3DLAC and that works amazingly well. Just finished a HTC phone case. A  print that I never got to go more than half way before it came unstuck. With this spray, after the print, I tried pulling the printed case of the glass but that thing was not moving an inch.
Let the bed cool and it came off without much force.
Thought I'd mention it as haven't seen any posts about it here.
This is what it looks like (I didn't buy it in that shop)

Re: If you have bed adhering issues

Tried  printing the tornado vase without raft.
I had to use the spatula to remove it. should spray sparingly and not after every print I guess.

Re: If you have bed adhering issues

I am using this brand of hairspray available at Walmart in Canada. It's strong enough to hold the prints, but not too strong that you'll break your glass plate. I spray some on before every print and it does the trick. You don't need to worry about using it too sparingly. I looked for Aquanet locally and couldn't find it.

I rarely wash my plate between builds with very little negative effects, but when I do, dish soap and warm water is all I need. Acetone doesn't seem to work at all.

Re: If you have bed adhering issues

This subject has been beaten to death in the other forums.  Most folk swear by AquaNet.  It's cheap, readily available at most supermarkets and department stores, and a single application last 4-5 prints minimum, sometimes 10 prints.

I use the #2 Extra Hold (Blue Can), and the currrent can I have is almost 1-1/2 years old and it's still 1/3 to 1/2 full.

Aquanet on glass, a great combination.

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...
SD3 printer w/too many mods,  Printrbot Simple Maker Ed.,  FormLabs Form 1+
AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.
