Harnessing Better ABS Adhesion: A Game-Changing Technique

In the realm of 3D printing, achieving optimal adhesion for ABS prints is a common challenge that makers face. At our facility, we have implemented a remarkable and effective method using a unique ABS and acetone mixture to enhance bed adhesion significantly. Let's delve into the process and benefits of this innovative technique.

The ABS and Acetone Solution: A Winning Combination

Unveiling the Magic Formula

Our in-house production printers—Testarossa and Turbo Esprit—are currently running ABS prints using a special trick for improved adhesion. Instead of traditional methods, we are printing directly onto a bare metal plate. The key to this success lies in our ABS and acetone concoction. By mixing ABS filament with acetone, we create a milky solution known as "ABS juice."

Applying the Solution

To begin, you will need a container of ABS juice and a bare metal print plate. Using a natural fiber brush, apply a thin, even layer of the ABS juice onto the plate. The thin consistency of the solution ensures seamless application and excellent adhesion properties.

Implementation Process and Benefits

Preparing for Success

After applying the ABS juice, allow the plate to dry in a well-ventilated area. Once dry, the plate is ready to use on your 3D printer. With printing temperatures set between 100-110 degrees Celsius, you can expect exceptional adhesion for ABS, HIPS, and ASA filaments.

Enhanced Adhesion, Effortless Release

The ABS and acetone mixture facilitates a smooth and robust adhesion for ABS prints, ensuring even large parts adhere firmly to the bed. Despite the need to reapply the solution before each print, the results speak for themselves—easy part removal and flawless adhesion across the print bed.

Conclusion: Elevating Your 3D Printing Experience

In conclusion, the ABS and acetone adhesion technique presents a breakthrough solution for achieving superior bed adhesion in 3D printing. While it may require periodic reapplication, the benefits of unparalleled adhesion and minimal warping make it a game-changer, especially for large ABS prints.

Give this method a try and witness the transformative impact on your 3D printing projects. Embrace innovation, elevate your printing quality, and conquer adhesion challenges with confidence.
