For the bed material of this printer and some others like it, the gluestick isn't for adhesion, but as a separation layer otherwise it might adhere your print "too well". But yes, generally any gluestick works, though for cleanup and maintenance anything that can spread thin without leaving clumps is good!
Magigoo glue sticks go for around $30-40, depending on the type. I rather like them, they're liquid. Still doing my own testing to see if it's justified, I'm hoping it'll solve my nylon bed adhesion problem. Edit: It did! Stuff works a treat! Kinda surprised how well it works actually, I was half expecting all the different types to be basically the same thing with just different marketing. Evidently there's actually something to it.
I always had to use extra stuff to make my prints stick to the bed, I still don't know why and even a smartass friend that was saying "you just have to clean your bed" went at my home to try it and failed all his prints. I now use pei and most of the time it work but when I need the extra stick I still use diluted pva glue.
I find this really funny because I don't have adhesion problems, impossible to get off the plate when it's hot. But once it cools down, it pops right off.
Read bambu's recommendations and when while using the bambu labs cool plate glue should always be applied because it can cause the cool plate layer to bubble up if not.
My printer came with some Chinese office store house brand glue stick. I usually don't use adhesion products, but just for shits i tried it and it worked (at least for PLA).
I use glue sticks all the time, when the print is done you just reheat the bed and then pull it off. The glue is just there to hold the print on bed if you didn't know 😂
I tried a generic glue stick compared to my bambu original and its definitely a lot worse. It works, but dries out more, crusts up and releases worse. After seeing that I ordered 3 more of the bambu originals and a textured pei plate. At least in the case of bambu, the OEM glue stick is higher quality than a supermarket generic alternative
We’ve all but given up on the cool plate now tbh… glue stick just isn’t for me! But then again if I really need some good adhesion.. I use the cool plate
The key word is "can" But it's cheap so go ahead and try but it's worse to clean up than the 3D print specific ones (at least in my experience), cuz the glue sticks aren't supposed to be removed nor used on hot metal/glass
I don't own this printer, but I've always just used Blue tape or G10 sheets. Both materials work absolutely amazing for just about every common material.
I use gorilla glue spray. spray it on and let it dry, gives a decent texture for adhesion and it lasts awhile. it does require scraping with a razor to remove, only use on glass.
I can say 3D printing has reached the masses when people rediscover glue stick for bed adhesion. People used glue sticks before 3D printing was a common thing, then companies relabeled glue sticks as special for 3D printing and marked up the price.
When the end of the affordable line was an Anet A8/A6 without BLTouch,in the old-old times,we were told "don't use gluestick you clown,all you do is mask the problems like bed leveling,cooling,square gantrys and Z height" Now printers scan your angus to see what you ate,level themselfs and yet the guys go "durrrr,just use glue"
The actual facts: The adhesion properties come from PVA which is only in SOME glue sticks. If you get the purple kind that turns clear, it works perfectly fine. It's not about price, its about ingredients. The expensive stuff has additives that help it not break down over time being constantly exposed to high heat.
Fair enough.. 🤔 I guess they moved over to glue for speed. But I still like the build plate on my i3 Mega. It releases the build when the plate cools down. Which is great for fiddly little NLA car parts for instrument clusters and such.
Free cheat code for the cheapest way to get a microfilm of adhesion aid..... boxing tape..... cheap plain, clear boxing tape.... preheat the bed to like 30-40 ish . Warm enough to just melt the adhesive on the tape slowly, stick it on flat, quick swipe, immediately peel off... get the timing right and one strip will clean your whole bed and leave a super thin layer. Works. Every. Time. (Also electrical tape works too)
clean it off with dawn dish soap and make sure you don't touch the plate with greasy fingers. pla will stick the to pad with no issues, no need for messy glue which messes up the finish. I can get glassy smooth prints that way.
Several years ago when I first started printing i bought a 60 pack of elmers glue sticks. they work great and I'm still going through them. But everyday i regret not buy the larger size instead!
Windex spray works wonders to remove the glue stick because the ammonia in it breaks it down after spraying let sit for a 30 to 60 seconds use the spatula to scrape goo off then wash of glass bed with soap and water or a good wipe down with 90 proof alcohol
As long as its water soluble any glue stick should work fine. My preference is pritt stick but I normally get it on sale so it's not expensive however any cheaper alternative should work. 👍
I just use one of those massive purple Elmer's glue sticks, the ones that are like 2" in diameter, one stick lasts for like 20-30 prints depending on the size wnd how often you feel like re-applying it
Actually it doesn't. Wash with soapy water, dry, use glue stick or hair spray as a release agent. I have two of these printers (Bambu X1C) and with the right bed temp rarely need any glue stick.
@@barkybarker2592so what is the right bed temp? I’m having a problem where the first layer not sticking well and coming off after a few minutes into the print.
@@ohh7467 I mostly print on a textured pei plate with pla. Start with a cleaned plate and wipe with ipa every so often. 60 degrees and no glue or hairspray. On a smooth plate I'll use a little glue if needed at stock temps. Some prints require a brim. You might also try orienting the print away from the fan or turn off the fan. Sometimes having the door open helps on pla.
@@barkybarker2592 I did see other using PEI plate without any problems. Mine is PLA plate probably why it isn’t sticking well especially after cleaning with ipa which gotten worst. Planing to try glue.
i knew a kid manned Damien in 1st Grade that would eat the Purple colored Glue Sticks like it was candy. I even gave him a few of mine to eat as it was a spectacle in more ways than one. I wonder how Damien is doing these days.
I use the cheapest one I can find, here in the Netherlands it's at the Action (a discount store with lots of stores in the Netherlands), it's 2 for €1,59 from the Bison brand which is just a well known brand. They last me months and they work really well.
I don't even understand how people are having issues with this. I have a p1p and my prints are literally breaking trying to get them off without glue =/

... I really start to wonder how many people have no idea how 3d printing grew to what it is today. A few years ago using the cheapest glue stick you could find was completely normal for printing abs. Only later with 3d printing becoming more commercialized relabled glue sticks for 3d printing appeard.
Where to buy those flavors of glue stick? I heard they taste like the real thing
Why would you eat glue?
@@ThatGuy3DPrintz you didn't? 😢

Wait, is there an expensive glue stick for this? I've always used regular glue sticks or nothing at all, and I have yet to have adhesion problems.
Yeah same 😂

Yeah there’s many. I bought one that was much more watery for it and dried the application sponge within a month so I went to pritt brand glue stick.
Literally me at the start of the video
It’s so weird I know , why would you ever buy 3d printing glue stick
Ive been printing for 4 years and never used a single glue stick, i printed abs petg and pla.
Same until the bamboo entered my life
@@brettyoung6223 bought textured PEI and my prints never released. Even after cooling down.
Depends on what bed material you have.
@@rodolfoo3015 I use mainly use bare glass for PLA. And my favorite textured PEI on all other filaments like nylon asa and abs.
I always had to use extra stuff to make my prints stick to the bed, I still don't know why and even a smartass friend that was saying "you just have to clean your bed" went at my home to try it and failed all his prints.

Ive used standard elmers for like 10 years lol. But the extreme version seems to last longer I guess, but harder to clean ✌️

@@chunkstar121 lol Bambu labs cool plate glue is 20 bucks lmao you guys are getting drained. Any regular 1 buck gluestick will work just fine

Been using cheap Elmer’s glue sticks since day 1 about 8 years ago and still use them today and always get amazing adhesion!
I use gorilla glue spray. spray it on and let it dry, gives a decent texture for adhesion and it lasts awhile. it does require scraping with a razor to remove, only use on glass.
The best for me i found is to use a woman hair spray the ones with Extra hold etc works like magic
I can say 3D printing has reached the masses when people rediscover glue stick for bed adhesion. People used glue sticks before 3D printing was a common thing, then companies relabeled glue sticks as special for 3D printing and marked up the price.
I've been using the cheap Walmart brand from day 1, and I never had any adhesion problems.
Im using play dough's stick glue. It sticks perfectly. I don't know why but with other brands i didnt get great adhesion.
So what u printing
Me : Oh nothing just sour cream chips

the glue isnt there for adhesion

Glue stick on cool plate is not for adhesion but for release

Damn, I was using rose art dollar store .79 cent glue sticks....those work like a liquid nails. Don't know why people fall for marketing
This is Kool I wood probably eat it tho LMAO
Don’t use glue just use higher bed heat and make sure you’re bed is level. And clean with alcohol spray.
bic glue stick (the green cap one) worked the best on a glass bed from my experimentation
pringles glue is crazy
PEI is way better. If it loses adhesion, wipe it with some isopropyl alcohol.
clean it off with dawn dish soap and make sure you don't touch the plate with greasy fingers. pla will stick the to pad with no issues, no need for messy glue which messes up the finish. I can get glassy smooth prints that way.
“Flavour”
Wow these Glue sticks looks Delicious 😋
i have those glue sticks! they’re actually good
Several years ago when I first started printing i bought a 60 pack of elmers glue sticks. they work great and I'm still going through them. But everyday i regret not buy the larger size instead!
Hair spray is the best solution. Or sugar water
I have an old filament printer without a heated platform, and I have been using hairspray. super easy to clean and great results
Since I use the right print surface I never ever hand to use any adhesive.
I use syrup it works good comes off really easy in water and smells good it doesn't matter what kind
Prusa adds a very regular glue stick to their printers. I didn't even know there were fancy ones, sounds like a solution in search of a problem.
Windex spray works wonders to remove the glue stick because the ammonia in it breaks it down after spraying let sit for a 30 to 60 seconds use the spatula to scrape goo off then wash of glass bed with soap and water or a good wipe down with 90 proof alcohol
Cool,,,
In my school we use glue sticks for the 3D printers
I remember back in the day when the go to methods were a gluestick or a can of hair spray
In short, yes
When my work got in a Ultimaker 3, it actually came with a glue stick from UHU for the glass plate
As long as its water soluble any glue stick should work fine.
My preference is pritt stick but I normally get it on sale so it's not expensive however any cheaper alternative should work. 👍
Hairspray works well too 😉
My old job used aquanet brand hairspray religiously
I don’t use anything. Just my heated bed and it works just fine
I just use one of those massive purple Elmer's glue sticks, the ones that are like 2" in diameter, one stick lasts for like 20-30 prints depending on the size wnd how often you feel like re-applying it
Elmers School Glue Sticks work perfect.
We don't even use pritt stick we just use cheap glue sticks and they work fine
Lsmmdk❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think I'm the only one that has a problem with too much adhesion and can't get my prints off the print bed
They said in the notice guide to not put plate into water 😅
Oh, but that was very special water, not just normal water 😅😅

Instead use hair spray
My dad literally uses Elmer's glue sticks on his printer and they work amazing
I use the Bambu lab textured PEI plate
In my experience simple hairspray is better than glue stick
I only ever spent like 20$ on some tpu glue so it would adhere to my build plate better and release with water
I was so dumb that I never knew that pringles made glue.
istg green pringles are the best
We've come full circle, people rediscover the old ways :D
since when did pringles make glue 💀
The new Bambu PEI plate works great without glue.
Yeah it does
I use the 3 pack for 1.07$ from the dollar store. cleans off really easy with bed heated up, then alcohol itand youre good
I used to use a normal glue stick but it never worked so i switched to taping down the raft 😅
I use normal, works really well.
Never used glue or anything like that. Level the bed, and setup the first layer properly
