sebastian - blue tape works extremely well with abs and a raft.
Maybe not for you - but it does work really well.
I never got abs to stick to kapton.
So just because it's not what you do - don't automatically assume it won't work.
The abs paint works too but it's a real pita to have to repaint the bed every time you want to print. And peeling it off the bottom of a complicated or articulated print is a real nightmare.
Not too mention acetone fumes.
People, DO NOT underestimate how harmful acetone fumes can be.
And also don't forget they are highly combustable.
At temperatures greater than acetone's flash point of −20 °C (−4 °F), air mixtures of between 2.5% and 12.8% acetone, by volume, may explode or cause a flash fire. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back. Static discharge may also ignite acetone vapors,
Prolonged exposure can also cause anosmia - which sounds funny. But means you have no sense of taste or smell.
Not saying don't use it, if you want to use abs you can't really avoid it. But be careful. It's not stuff to mess with lightly.Last edited by curious aardvark; 06-22-2015 at 02:53 PM.
