ABS breaking print plate

Hi everyone, 

 

We have been having a problem with ABS prints breaking our print plates using the recommended settings. Does anyone have any suggestions? 

 

Also do you know if there is a way to keep your print plate warm overnight after a print finishes?

 

Best & thank you, 

John

    If by breaking you mean the print is stuck to the glass and it chips parts of it when removing then you need to apply a generous amount of UHU glue stick before printing.


    The prints will pop right off after cooling.


    Don’t ask me why but when I tried with a different brand of glue stick, the prints would not come off.

    For bigger parts I use UM adhesion sheets to protect the glass bed.

    the adhesion sheets are a nightmare. Takes days for the part to come off in water

    Using hairspray works perfectly for me. Haven't damaged a plate since

    We print a fair amount of ABS on our S5 and have broken glass by removing prints while they are still warm. We print directly on the glass, and clean it with glass cleaner before each print. If allowed to cool, the prints release themselves, or pop off with minimal effort. Since getting spare build plates and allowing the prints to fully cool, we have had no issues.

     

    We also have no adhesion issues printing directly on the glass with PLA, PETG, or ABS, but we do utilize a good brim, especially on taller parts.
