New Print Surface

[mikevolk]

I had a hell of a time getting my first layers of ABS to stick when I started.

Tried, Blue tape, ABS juice, plain glass, frosted glass, glue stick, hairspray etc.

I know I missed the popular Kapton tape. I had some on ordered and was still experimenting to see what was going to be consistent, peeled easily and kept the costs within reason.

Well, I decided to try using Liquid Tape -- Spray on Electrical tape from the people that make Plastic Dip.

Heat the bed up, spray liberally and voila -- great prints! Peels pretty easily so far. Smooth, real smooth surface.

This stuff is easily available at Harbor Freight.

Hope this helps someone else get over the inital printing issues.
