    I understand the material and how to use it. It's well documented around the web that it requires heated build plate temps of 120C and higher to get a good bond with larger ABS parts and they release at temps around 80C which is not conducive to preventing warping during the cooling process.

    Despite your opinion of ABS being crap there is a huge following for it beyond people making things off of thingyverse and other art/toy projects. I do think it's amusing that you state that it works on ABS in an open printer when you refuse to use ABS, and most of the community will tell you ABS is hit and miss not enclosed. So how did you come to that conclusion?

    My point is that a glue stick takes about 10-20 seconds to apply. A large stick costs $2us and goes a long way. Versatility of glass is the best option available today. When you get outside the sheltered area of this board and on some of the larger sites this is by far and away the most popular option.
