I am trying the purple aqua net. Never used hairspray for anything before! It doesn't come out in a mist like I would expect rather it is "splotchy" it is hard to explain!! What have you guys experienced with this stuff?

I used ultra hold hair spray but in a bottle pump so I could pour it out and flow it on though I sprayed some times (careful it is nasty to bearings) and it worked for ABS and PLA but I originally used the Purple Elmer's big fat glue stick and while that worked I hated it as it would scorch etc... so I switched. Finally I said I am tired of all of this expense so I tried bare Boro glass and was hooked. 3mm thick 110c ABS and 52c for PLA.

Just posted a design for an adapter / mounting base for the Ikea Jansjo light.
This base fits on a QIDI printer and attaches onto the QIDI's corner. It may be reversed for use on either the front or side facing surfaces of the Qidi. The Jansjo is $7-$10 at Ikea.
All info is at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1655034 The version shown in the pix is a rev back from the design on Thingi. You can also see my monstrous P/T video camera peering in from the side.

Yes. I read that removing parts too soon could tear the tape, so I wait at least until all the fans switch off, at which point the bed is normally down to about 60°C. The nice thing is that if the tape tears, it's easy enough and cheap enough to just apply new.
By the way, my Chinese glue stick ran out today. It was getting a little pale, so it wouldn't have been useful too much longer anyway.

From MakerGeeks, Maker is their standard line of PLA and ABS. That is the stuff that I have had good luck using.
I've tried one roll of their Raptor PLA (that's their high performance PLA) and it printed wonderfully, more like ABS than PLA, but jammed up my extruder after about 4 hours of printing. Syd warned me, but you know I had to experience the pain for myself.
They just released their Crystal PLA and PETG line last week. I've ordered a roll of that in PLA but have not received it yet. Some way cool translucent colors there, sure hope it prints well.
Got no idea on Orb, never tried their stuff.
New to 3d printing looking for...
