On the basis of a couple of exchanges and threads I ordered a roll of pet tape from china the other week.

Just replaced the painters tape with the pet tape. Hardest bit is lining the strips up as the tape is transparent and hard to see where the edges meet.
Didn't take too long though.

Heated bed to 60c - which also doesn't take that long. - Not forgetting to recalibrate at 60c :-)
Currently running off a sample filament spool.
So far sticks and looks like it does on the blue tape.
:-)

The idea is that when the bed cools the part pops off, leaving the tape unharmed.

If that works I'll print a part that usually warps with this cheapo filament.
The idea is that it sticks like stink to the warm tape and not to it when it's cooled down.
We shall see :-)

But so far - looking pretty good.

Anyone know if abs sticks to pet tape ?

Quick look online suggests that it does.
Now that would be cool if |i can get abs to stick like pla I can finally use up all the rolls I've got :-)

More later...
