For Best Print Results, Try Magigoo and Magigoo Supergrip
Magigoo and Magigoo Supergrip are easy-to-use 3D printing adhesive designed to provide excellent print bed adhesion for a variety of 3D printing materials. Apply Magigoo to your unheated print bed. When the print is finished, wait for the plate to cool down and your prints will pop right off the bed! Magigoo also helps to prevent warping, even with more challenging materials like ABS and ASA.
Key features include:
- Compatible with ABS, PLA, PETG, HIPS, ASA, and TPU
- Available in 50ml and 120ml sizes
- Easy application
- Easy release
- Easy cleaning (just use water)
- No smell
- Non-toxic
- No additional tools needed
- Easy to transport
- Nicer print finish
Tips for Successful 3D Prints
Tips for Successful 3D Prints
There are so many materials to choose from when 3D printing... Some of these materials are more challenging to print than others, but with the proper approach, you can be confident of a successful print, regardless of the material you're using.
Next to using high-quality filament, good print bed adhesion is often the key to avoiding failed prints. Our friends at Magigoo have spent hundreds of hours testing all kinds of different materials, identifying the optimal settings for each to ensure the best possible results. All of this research has culminated in two valuable resources that we are happy to share with you here. Don't be deceived by the name of the first document. This is not just a manual for Magigoo adhesives. It's packed full of great tips for ensuring successful prints.
