I own a flashforge printer and this is what I believe the problem is as I have had similar issues:

Hello Group,

I'm looking to find the best adhesive to create a strong air tight bond from PLA to ABS.

Given a choice, I would prefer a thick adhesive to help fill in the little voids.

I hear what you're saying... i'm wondering if there is some adhesive that is not gonna superglue my build but will still work better than hairspray... also, if it is just gluing to kapon tape maybe...

I actually tried buildtak per a suggestion in this thread. it did not work either

my other thought, I noticed that the ABS raft stuck to the ABS part really well... but the raft would not stick to the print bed even with the hairspray and after adjusting the print bed temp.

I couldn't find any at Home Depot so I'll have to order online... but I bought some contact cement.. maybe that will work?

Thanks for all of your input.

I've read through and tried every suggestion with the ABS.. it still will not stay stuck. I suspect the part is just too big to print ABS reliably. As I type this...

I'm done trouble shooting and out of ideas. Here is the rundown.... I've adjusted the print bed to between 90 - 120 C. I've also used hairspray and that did work pretty well for the smaller prints....

Also, if there is a slot you can...

Seems to me a clue is that they are both doing the same thing. I suspect maybe it's the Gcode you loaded on them from your computer is corrupted. My suggestion is to try something different with...

Before you sent this I had already picked up some generic extra hold hair spray from Walmart... "Equat" store brand for $3.01 ... Worked perfect.... prints are no longer distorted and everything...

I'm using kapon tape over a piece of glass cut to the size of the bed. Any hairspray will do?

I tried lowering the bed temp from 120 to 100 and just now finished printing my first piece... it came out "awesome". Thanks for the input here. No more tapper

I'm also having trouble keeping things to stick to the print bed. Will a lower temp make it less "sticky"?

This is the same object printed two separate ways. The side facing down always comes out tapered. I should also add that I'm using Simplify3D to position the object on the print bed. They have a...

My item keeps coming up distorted where the object is either more narrow on the bottom or the top. My X,Y,Z settings are set 1:1. The plastic looks a little "melty" on the tapered end. I'm looking...
