Until now, i have been printing on painters tape, but i wanted to try printing directly to glass.
When i try to print in glass, it starts the piece but it unsticks is 40% aprox. I use Cura for slicing and i have tried “Brim” from 10 to 40 and its still unsticks. Also lowered the Z height a bit, but again nothing… can it be that the X or the bed aren’t well calibrated?
Also, about the painters tape, i have one that is yellow, is the same as the blue one?
As far as i know you need 3M blue painter tape 2090. The thing with this tape is that it uses a coating to prevent paint penetrating and sticking to it for faster removal, well that coating is what “sticks” to plastic. So i dont think your tape will work.
If you’re printing with pla you can print directly on glass around 60C bed and around 230c first layer(depends on pla brand but go as hot as you can) than lower to whatever you need,but it needs to be super clean, use alcohol to clean! After it cools it just pops of. Hope this helps.
Okay, i still have to claibrate Z axis, will do it today and i’ll try just direct to glass cleaned with alcohol. wow, i didn’t know about school glue stick; i’ll try it. Thank you
