Fused Deposition Modeling is used to build your design with this material. The principle is simple. You can compare it with a hot glue gun into which you put sticks of glue. The glue is heated up until it melts and is then pushed through a fine nozzle in the front of the glue gun. ...
Preheat the bed to around 70-80°C and the extruder to 230-250°C. Apply an adhesive, like glue stick or hairspray, to the bed to improve first layer adhesion. Print at a slower speed for the first layer to ensure it sticks well. Adjust the print speed and temperature based on your...
As stated above, if you try printing PETG on theSmooth PEI sheetwithout a release agent you're gonna have a bad time. It sticks like glue. I burned and ruined a PEI sheet trying to remove stuck PETG by impatiently heating it with an induction cooktop. ...
[Thomas] expands on this to demonstrate that PLA doesn’t really stick very well to anything but itself, and PETG by contrast sticks really well to just about anything other than PLA. One mild surprise was that flexible filament conforms very well to PLA, but doesn’t truly stick to it....
