Got it, but being harder also makes it more fragile, anyway i agree that PLA is much better and easier to print, ABS is a big pain in the a**

Aight then, isn't it supposed to be more durable and better overall material since it's actually plastic?
Care to explain a bit more precisely? :)
i think i found what you mean!
Tried hairspray, with PLA works flawlessly, i tried printing 3 parts of the same keychain in ABS, set the extruder at 230, the bed at 120, sprayed abundant hairspray on it, it stuck initially, but...
Have to try that...
Exactly, no curling, at least not yet, it just doesn't adhere, doesn't matter the speed i try, could be even 5 mm/s doesn't stick, i thought glass would help that, but apparently it makes it even...
The default one, the one that comes with the printer, the damn ABS filament won't stuck to the bed. :S
Hello again guys, today the thermal pad arrived, and for now seems to be working flawlessly with the glass, feels like it's glued and temps are just a bit lower, but i'll just set a higher print bed...
Oh so it has nothing to do with vinyl, it's just used to attach vinyl to floor, ok, anyway can't find that on italian amazon, and apparently that doesn't ship to Italy, gonna see if i can find...
Alright, meanwhile i bought a slim thermal pad, which i'll try otherwise i'll try everything you guys suggested, probably giving the tape priority.
Thank you both, aardvark could you please link (even pm) exactly what you have in mind? I actually don't know how's that particularly called in my language.
number40fan LOL! didn't expect such...
Hello guys, long time no see, i've been pretty busy lately.
I've only recently gone back having fun with the printer, i finally decided to buy a glass to replace the stock pad which is absolute...
Yeah don't worry, thanks!
Alright, i'll see how much a custom glass will cost me from some shop
Haven't yet measured them but i think maybe 2 mm and the bed should be either 5 or 6 mm
Isn't printbite self adhesive already?
Ok the printbite is available again on their website, the problem is that a 15x15 sheet, shipped to italy would cost me at least 24€ if i choose the non tracked shipping, otherwise it's 30€, i'm...
Good thank you, i'll probably get that flex pla, the other stuff i'm sure it's better, but it's way too expensive for me atm.
Polyflex is pretty expensive isn't it? Found 0.75Kg on amazon for 50€
Let's say i want to print a flexible cover for my smartphone that resembles the one you buy made out of silicone rubber, which one should be the closest?
What do you guys think it's better for a flexible print? TPU? TPE? FlexPLA?
Yeah i remember you suggesting this, but i couldn't find the post, fortunately you posted it again. I'm trying to pick the 15x15 one but it says out of stock - please choose a different combination....
Yeah will look into it, thanks.
Anyway i'm reading over the internet, wouldn't it be better if it was borosilicate glass, which properties are pretty good for 3d printers, low thermal expansion, chemical resistant, etc? The problem...
I'm not sure those gator clips would fit between the actual bed and the moving platform, also, where would i secure those corner holders?
Exactly
