    PVA not sticking on glass

    in Materials & profiles

    Posted

    So, Mix it very thin and just brush it on and let set? I thought I might not have the build plate hot enough at 60 degrees. White PLA seemed to work ok and Black PLA never stuck, even with the bed temp 100+ degrees.

    I will let you know how it worked out. I bought a pc of Bisiliocristiline (spelling) figured it would fix the issue, not.

    Thanks

    I have checked my history, here it is : https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-svg

     

     

    I am trying to print a model of a hot rod from Tinkercad and my printer keeps doing this. I have brand new Borosilicate glass, cleaned. My nozzle temp is 200, bed is 69. I have leveled the bed several times with no changes. At a loss. Anybody have a fix??? Thanks

    Tinkercad isn't a photo manipulation program. You can use Inkscape for that, I gave you a method on a previous message with a link to a video that shows and explains it all. It's a quick and easy solution that takes less than 2 minutes to turn your JPG into a 3D file that you can then print using Inkscape and Blender, both are free programs.

    is there another app besides inkscape I could try??

    Thanks

    It seems Inkscape has an issue loading on my Mac, have tried several times but it just stalls about halfway thru the download.

    Well, checked progress before heading out to work and it looks great. I don't know what the issue was on the first one but may be I should have left it go till complete, maybe it was really ok. Any way it was at the 7 hour mark and it looks great. I will send a photo when I get home. So, can you walk me thru the process to convert 2D to 3D. I have another metal detecting "patch" I would like to convert. Would it be easier if we communicated thru e-mail? I don't want to take up space on the board unless it can help others.

    Thank You again for the help so far.

    I am still having issues getting the logo to print out right. The YouTube video showed how and what to change in the settings, I followed the video but didn't notice in any change for the better.

    Settings:

    Quality

    Schell

    Infill

    Material

    Speed

    Travel

    Coding

    Build Plate

    Adhesion

    Mesh Fixes

    Special Mode

    Support

    These are the headings in Settings. When you change any of these it lets you save the changes as what ever you want to call them. And they will show up in custom. Any support will be appreciated. Thanks
