MAKING PLASTIC STICK TO PRINTBED
To keep the print hold rmly to the table while printing, we can use measure described below:
Heating the bed table - especially important for ABS plastic. Usual temperature
is 100-120°C. With higher temperatures plastic sticks better, and deforms less during
printing (especially for large objects).
A
Applying layer of Kapton tape on the bed (must be used without any other
substances - just the tape). Works with ABS.
C
Applying layer of paper masking tape, and wiping it with alcohol.
Works very well for PLA.
D
Applying layer of paper glue (Pritt Stick for example). When dried, holds the print
nicely, and allows easy removal aerwards. Should be used with heated bed (60°C)
and cooled down for removing.
E
Applying layer of dissolved ABS plastic (ABS juice). Watch the video:

B
Using Build Tak (adhesive print surface), works very well with PLA and ABS. It is
recommended to generate prints with Power Ra feature (easier to remove).
