3D Printer Adhesive Glue Bed Weld Original, Strong Grip Reduces Warping for ABS, ASA, PLA, and PETG Filament on Compatible Build Plates, 118ml, 4 fl oz

I've previously been using glue sticks or hairspray for adhesion when printing on glass build plates. While both options work, they are messier, don't always provide consistent adhesion, and can leave an unwanted finish on the bottom of prints (requiring cleaning and/or sanding).The LAYERNEER bed weld is a fantastic product! Here's what I like about it:- The sponge applicator prevents too much product from coming out and makes it very easy to apply the product only where needed.- After applying and allowing the product to dry (dries by the time the bed is heated), the dried product is clear and leaves a smooth (nearly invisible) layer on top of the print bed.- Since the product dries smooth, there's no chance it will cause imperfections on the bottom of the prints (like chunky glue sticks often do).- The product is water soluable, so it's easy to clean off the build plate with hot water. While not required, a small dab of dish soap adds some lubrication and makes washing easier.- The cap securely twists onto the top of the bottle to protect the foam applicator and keep the product from drying out.- One layer is good for 5-10 prints. LAYERNEER states a wet sponge can be used to recharge the bed weld, but I haven't tried that yet.- While washing the build plate will always yield the best results, I'm able to reapply additional layers of bed weld (as needed) a few times before washing the build plate.Some tips for success:- Check out the image LAYERNEER included in the product description for a list of build plates this product works best with. There are a lot of low star reviews here where customers mention they are using build plates that are not on the suggested list (like textured build plates).- Apply the product when the bed is at room temperature.- Shake the bottle for about 5 seconds before applying. There is a ball inside of the bottle (like in a can of spray paint) that helps mix the product.- Press the sponge applicator straight down until it bottoms out on the build plate to allow the product to moisten the sponge applicator. And then lightly brush the sponge applicator acrosss the build plate to distribute the product where needed (wherever the parts will be placed).- Wait for the product to air dry before printing if not using a heated bed. If using a heated bed, the product will be dry by the time the bed reaches the target temperature.- After a print has completed, wait for the bed to cool down to room temperature for easier/cleaner removal.I've been 3D printing (mostly on glass build plates) since 2015. The LAYERNEER bed weld is the best product I've used so far. My only disappointment is that it took me this long to find a product that consistently works well. I'll definitely be purchasing LAYERNEER bed weld again in the future (use Subscribe & Save to save 15%).

This works very well on glass print beds, much better than the standard glue sticks. It works for several prints, and holds the print firmly in place. Once cool, the print comes right off with no problems and only a minimum of effort. Note this does *not* work on beds that use kapton tape.

I print for a living. 3dprintedbagpipes.com, actually. Check me out! Anyway, ALL my prints are one at a time and printed vertically. And they're all VERY TALL! Tall prints fall over very easily. I've tried hairspray (waste of money), glue stick (messy, and only works some of the time), so I figured I'd try this one. I liked the applicator, and because you let it dry BEFORE you print, I don't have to race against my preheat to get it on the bed while it's still sticky.THIS STUFF ROCKS!!!!! I now print Bagpipe Chanters, and they're 14" tall, and I can print them without a brim, without a raft, and without worry a bit!I LOVE THIS STUFF! I'M GOING TO PUT IT ON MY WEDDING CAKE WHEN I GET MARRIED! I'M GOING TO NAME MY FIRSTBORN AFTER THIS STUFF!!! Yeah, the only part of that that's true is me loving this stuff. But seriously, it's a fantastic product. Don't bother with hairspray, glue stick, or any of that other crap. Go with Bed Weld! No Warping, No ripping the print off the bed, NO FAILS!!! I used to have TONS of fails.... It was always a gamble. I've attached pictures of some of my more pathetic and infuriating fails. But also some BED WELD WINS!!!!THANK YOU GUYS!!!! See those pictures of prints? Those are all printed VERTICALLY with NO bed adhesion from the slicer. Just Bed Weld!

This stuff works well. Definitely better than using hair spray or other solutions I used in the past plus it uses way less product to get a similar effect which makes me think this will be a lot cheaper in the long run. You will need to reapply before each large print but for small stuff, I only apply a new layer roughly every 5 prints. Overall, it grips prints well when used correctly, lasts long enough for my liking and doesn’t have any awful smells to deal with.

I dont understand the negative reviews for PEI build plates.. My Kobra 2 Max, this stuff changed the whole game. Far better adhesion then without and the applicator / application process is worth it alone. Goes on silky smooth. Glue sticks had more adhesion.. too much more... plus glue stick does not go on smooth like this stuff. I think bad review are either applying too much or not enough or have some other issue. Ive not had a single solitary failed print since I started using this stuff - about 20 prints now.. plenty of failures before that.. I'm a believer. Thank you,
