Airwolf 3D's Wolfbite heatbed adhesive solution

Post by Batteau62 »

Seems kind of pricey! But if it alleviates some frustration, might be worth a try?

I probably works fine but at $20 for 2oz, plus shipping, it is too steep for my budget.
In terms that I can understand, I think that stuff per gallon would be $1280.

That really puts things into perspective.

Thinking back on how many ABS slurry jars I go through, it would be quite the expense to add this into the mix.

If you print large footprints with ABS, finding the right blend of ABS to acetone can make all the difference.

I can get a sheet of PEI from McMaster for $20 and tape for it for $11 including shipping off of Amazon. Basically a one time purchase. Works for a lot of filaments, ABS, PLA, I've heard PET and PC stick to it too. PVA and HIPS probably would as well. Go look at that PEI thread.
