MPC2018 3D Printer Adhesive Glue for Polycarbonate Filament - Long-Lasting an...

Got the magigoo for PC because I wanted to try printing polycarbonate, initially tried printing on my bare PEI bed and it was a complete no go. My bed only gets up to 110c and the PC was not sticking at all, literally just lifting off the plate super easily and prints failed during the first layer. Followed the directions for this magigoo and started my print, got absolutely fantastic adhesion and my print came out great! It was easy to remove from the cooled bed as well. I also did not clean my bed after applying this, it helped a subsequent PETG print stick very well and no issues removing that print from the bed.

Fixed my adhesion problems immediately

When I first started 3D printing every print was impossible to remove from the bed. No matter what I did it stuck to the bed and I had to pry and pry to get it off. I started using this glue and it's made a huge huge difference. People suggest all kinds of weird things (like hairspray which makes a huge mess overtime) to get your prints to stick and come off after printing. This stuff goes on clean and easy, becomes a little tacky when the bed is warm, and holds the print well. After the print is done I let the bed cool down and the print comes right off. You have to put it on when the bed is cold, and remove the print when the bed is cold for it to work best. Be patient and it will work wonders. The bottle looks small and it might seem expensive for the size, but it will go far. I'm 1/3 of the way through the bottle after using it for a month. I've printed dozens of items in the time, covering the entire bed each time. Most of the time I remove it after a print with 70% isopropyl alcohol to get a nice clean bed before each print and reapply. The manufacturer does indicate you can use a single application for several prints, which I have confirmed is true. But I'm OCD about keeping my bed clean so I clean and reapply after most prints, and I still likely have 100 or more prints left worth of glue. If you're more frugal with it than I am then you'll definitely get more prints. Shake it well before each use. When you apply turn it upside down (obviously) with the sponge side on the plate. Push down gently as you move the bottle around to release the glue, and make a nice even thin layer of glue. Sometimes a quick push is all you need to get the sponge wet and then you can just rub the glue around until it's covered the area you need. The reason I mention this isn't to state the obvious, but the sponge does get some wear and tear on it after a while. Fortunately, the manufacturer realized this and there is an extra sponge that comes with it. If you're having problems with either adhesion or removal BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!!! Skip the cheap glues (5 sticks for $5 deals), the hairsprays, and the other weird tricks and just buy this.

This just makes the print so much better! Printing with pa6cf20, used to failed at third layer and now I can print a full print bed

The best adhesion is with the sheet that you stick on the print bed that comes with Yousu PP filament, but it is only good for one print, and it is hard to remove from the print ... but it has worked consistently. Magigoo PP definitely 'can' work, and often for multiple prints before re-applying, and Magigoo has been my favorite for bed adhesion for other difficult materials, but there is a learning curve in preparing each print to be successful with Magigoo and PP filament ... like very wide brims, etc.

I had previously used clear packing tape for my PP prints - while this works, it is a pain to use as the print sticks a bit too well to the tape. My first several tries with Magigoo PP had the print break free after a few layers. I was about to give up when I decided to try a different build plate (Lightyear G10 rather than the Bambu Engineering Plate), and that was more promising. What eventually worked for me was a bed temp of 70C and a thick coat of Magigoo PP, plus dialing back print cooling and turning off my printer's (Bambu X1C) chamber and aux fans. I also added a 5mm brim, but this print probably didn't need it based on how well it was sticking to the plate. I love that the print releases when the plate cools, and that the adhesive cleans off with water. I think a smooth PEI plate would also work as a base.

Like with any 3D printing product, bad settings or a different style printer can make a perfect product underperform so take every 3D printing product review with a grain of salt. So far I've only printed small parts with a brim of 15mm. The edges still warp up but not enough to pull the large brim all the way up. If I used a smaller brim my small parts would probably pop up. Now this may be an issue with my settings and setup to I can't say its a problem with the product itself. I can say that if it wasn't for this product I wouldn't have had any success at all printing this material. Polypropylene is a whole different animal to 3d print.

This is for the Nylon glue. It is fantastic! I had previously tried every possible solution, the best out of them being a G10 sheet, however it still was not working 100% perfectly, still was having issues with large parts, or parts with sharp corners, or parts with greater infill. With this glue on a standard textured PEI sheet, the nylons stick extremely well! For any size of prints I have tried, and for those that I was not able to print with any other method. Even after cooling down the prints are attached firmly to the surface! I am very happy with this product!
