Miscellaneous Notes

If you are printing a small part, you only need to coat the section of bed where the part will be printed.

You want to apply the glue to a cold bed (<40
o
C) shortly before beginning a print. The longer the glue sits,
the less sticky it becomes.

Applying the glue when the bed is hot will result in the glue stick melting as you apply it, and the glue goes
on too thickly.

For small PLA parts, you can sometimes get away with re-using the glue you applied by wetting it with the
spray bottle and smearing it around with your hand. As you use your printer, you will get a feel for when
to do this and when to put fresh glue down.
Cleaning Off Glue from a Previous Print
With the bed less than 40
o
C, lightly spray the bed with water and let it sit 1–2 minutes.
Use your included part scraper to scrape the majority of the glue off the glass in a front-to-back pattern. Wipe this
up with a paper towel.
Depending on how thick the glue is you may need to repeat this spray-and-scrape another time.
Once the majority of the glue is removed, spray the bed again and use a fresh paper towel to clean up the
remaining glue. It’s not necessary to get the bed perfectly clean, but there should be no deposits of glue left.
