Delta Orion filament adhesion

Post by perduegc1 »

ABS filament does not adhere to bed. All I'm getting is a glob of filament around the nozzle shortly after print begins. Using purple glue, cleaned bed, and re-zeroed carriage. Could really use some help.

ABS typically doesn't stick to the glue stick. Aquanet Unscented hairspray works well from what I've read. You also need a bed temp of at least 80C and /no/ drafts. Don't even walk past the printer quickly. ;)

Thanks. I'll try the Aquanet. In the meantime I increased the nozzle temp to 230deg. Doing ok for now.

That's a pretty average temp for ABS from what I've seen. Good luck!
