June 18: Use Glue Stick or Hairspray for Better Bed Adhesion with Tricky Materials

Introduction

Struggling with poor bed adhesion? Certain filaments need extra grip, and common household solutions like glue stick or hairspray can dramatically improve 3D print bed adhesion.

Why This Matters

Filaments like PETG and ABS require stronger bed adhesion to prevent warping and lifting. Adhesive layers enhance grip and stabilize first-layer bonding.

How to Apply This Tip

✅ Apply a thin layer of glue stick or hairspray before printing.

✅ Use PEI sheets for a built-in adhesion boost.

✅ Heat the bed to recommended filament temperatures for better bonding.

Slicer Settings: Slightly increase first-layer temperature for stronger adhesion.
