Topic: ABS Glue on Glass

So far an ABS/Acetone slurry on glass along with a brim has produced best results for me. As soon as I get around to trimming this mirror I'll be installing the parts for Lawsy's QU-BD bed upgrade, so I may not need this overkill for long. But I was wondering if others using ABS glue on glass have this much glue come off after a print? I often have to apply some glue before each print otherwise the filament will slide along the surface. These prints (vibration isolators thing:91388) were removed after the bed had cooled from 95c to around 40c.

Re: ABS Glue on Glass

You could try a thinner mix, with less ABS.

I use a glass bed without any treatments. I have to heat it to around 120 C, which is a bit of a stretch for the heated bed in my Solidoodle unless I put a blanket on it or hit it with the heat gun.
