Product Information

Many specialty glues struggle with filament coverage, for example Gloop! glues only handle a single filament. Other glues work with some basic filaments like PLA, ABS, and PETG, but struggle with anything beyond that, and Layerneer Bed Weld can run into issues with TPU.

So, considering the reliability and filament compatibility you’re getting, Magigoo is a solid secondary option to Layerneer Bed Weld – especially if TPU is giving you the most trouble. There’s little to be disappointed in (the applicator, mainly), and lots to love. Best Multi-Purpose Glue: 3D Gloop! The first is fusing prints together, which is what Gloop! is mainly advertised for. But it can also be used to fix both over-adhesion and under-adhesion issues, as well as smoothing out prints in post-processing. Painter’s tape is even worse. It only works consistently on lower bed temperatures and is slightly harder to source than the other two. It’s the type of adhesive you should use in a pinch – not your go-to solution.Some glues can warp or damage the paper it’s applied to. Some common damages are crinkling, tearing, or discoloring the paper. Firstly, Gloop! sells chemical adhesive that works for one type of filament, and their lineup includes only three different types: PLA, PET, and ABS. That might be okay depending on what you like to print with, or it might be a complete dealbreaker. If you only get problems every once in a while and would rather spend your limited hobby budget on new filaments or cooler upgrades, it’s understandable to prioritize saving money. To use liquid glue, first dilute it 1 to 1 with water in a cup or bowl. Then use a wide (cheap!) paint brush to apply an even coat of glue to your bed surface. Wait for it to dry before printing. Can I use Gorilla Glue or Super Glue on my 3D printer?

This means that you’ll typically have glue on your paper craft that won’t be covered up by another piece of paper. When this happens, you want to make sure you have glue that dries clear. Although pricier, a multi-function glue offers more than just bed adhesion, and can save money buying a separate glue for attaching 3D printed parts together.Elmer’s glue is easy to apply – even a 5-year-old can do it – and is a very functional adhesive for using with typical 3D printer filaments like PLA, PETG, and ABS. Remove the object: Once the print is finished, wait for it to cool down completely, then remove with a spatula. Another user who owned a PEI plate stated that he preferred to put a layer of glue before each print he would make. Eventually, he changed his build plate and now he doesn’t use any more glue. If you ever create multi-part 3D prints, Gloop! can fuse them seamlessly. If you regularly feel annoyed with layer lines but don’t want to shell out hundreds for a resin printer, Gloop! can help with that, too. For more on this, we also have an article on the best glues for 3D prints. Tragically, Elmer’s doesn’t work for every situation. There’s a complicated range of different factors that go into whether or not you’re getting good first layer adhesion, including the type of filament, your print bed material, the print in question, and your settings.
