    Aluminum MK3 Heated Bed

    Anyone on the forum using one of these? I have one on my Prusa i3 and it's working great, greats up to +/- 110'C for ABS prints no problem.

    My question is how do you guys get your prints to stick? The guys I got the print bed from told me to sand blast the bed and then use ABS Slurry/Juice.

    What tips and tricks do you guys use?

    seriously ?
    Pretty much every other thread on this forum is about how to get prints to stick.

    Just have a look round and you'll soon have more ideas than you know what to do with :-)

    I usually use a glue stick and other adhesives when printing ABS. Acetone is good too.
