Hi, my ‘pyrex’ plate has finally arrived and fits perfectly. I’ve printed the Z-axis device that trips the switch at the correct height however I am now wondering how is best to secure the glass to the print bed? I have got some bulldog clips but as it is a CTC Bizer Dual printer I am unsure where to put the clips so that the other nozzle doesn’t hit them. Any suggestions would be great or any other techniques for securing it.
Aquanet works well for a temporary bond. Just spray the bed, stick the glass on it, wait a few hours then heat it up. Remove with rubbing alcohol. Most people use double sided thermal tape or a high w/mk rated thermal pad. Frozen CPU sells some good ones.
TBH i am probably wrong. There’s a discrepancy between what the Sailfish firmware does and what GPX does (which most slicers that aren’t makerware use) which results in the HBP never going higher than 120.
Are you trying to get ABS to stick to plain glass? I’ve never managed that. I use ABS juice (a small bottle of acetone with some bits of ABS dissolved in it, wipe a little on the glass before you preheat). It leaves a film behind that will help your print to stick.
Even with ABS juice you might find small parts come unstuck. Print something with a decent sized base until you’ve got the hang of it, or, you could use a raft (but i dislike rafts).
