Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks | Dries Clear | Great for Schools & Crafting | Washable & Child-Friendly | 22g | 10 Count

This has been my most successful 3d print bed adhesive so far. Easy to apply, easy to clean off. It holds well during printing - I haven't had any slips at all in 100s of hours of ABS printing - and still easy to remove the print.

Modern 3D printers come with printing surfaces which have excellent adhesion properties. Why would you want to use this glue?Excessive adhesion can be as much of a problem as insufficient adhesion. This glue can be used as a "buffer layer" to protect your printing surface.It prevents lifting of sharp corner features while preventing lifting of print surface coating material.If an item adheres too well to a non-removable print surface just power off the printer and surround the printed object with wetted tissue paper. The water will soften the glue, migrating under the first layer, after which the print can be removed.This glue, being PVP rather than PVA, works better than some other glue sticks in this application.
