this guy is like an uncle with all the tips from experience. I learn something useful every time!

Been 7 year's: Elmer's glue stick has been my friend. I have tried all sort of things, always come back to my trusty glue stick

I quite often apply hairspray and it works also very well. The thing is don't spray it on the bed when its on the printer. That will easily mess up everything. Remove it, spray it on the balcony and done. Very nice video as always Chuck!

I use Elmers purple, but only because it's real easy to see if you've cleaned it off correctly. If you wipe the bed with a damp kitchen roll and you see purple, wipe some more! I apply the glue only to the area where the print is going to happen, not the whole bed, and usually use two layers at right angles to each other to ensure a good coverage. But I think one carefully applied layer would also work.

you don´t even have to clean it after every print..just a moist sponge to reapply it and then preheat to get rid of the moisture..

I use the purple gluestick too. I paint a zig-zag on the print bed with it then use a slightly wet 1-1/2" paint brush to swirl it around and coat the bed evenly. I make sure to preheat the bed before starting the print job to make sure it is dry. I've printed over 1000 hrs using this method with great results. I liked the hair spray idea, but it seemed to me that the spray would get sucked into the cooling fans and gum them up

After like 6-8 changes to my g-code to try and get this one thing to print, NONE of the options worked until I used the gluestick. I am now team gluestick

after trying quite a few things and leveling the bed a hundred times i tried the glue stick ( had purple on hand) working great ever since.

Had a bed that had decent warp so I switched to glass. First print usually works well but additional prints would have issues sticking. Cleaned glass and issues persisted. Decided to use glue stick. Between the glass and the glue stick best decisions I could have made. Yeah with glass you do not have the convenience of a flexible removable bed but who cares if I can use a glue stick to get perfect first layers? Awesome stuff you have on your channel Chuck. You help make this easier for beginners like myself to get going.

Chep, you are the underappreciated 3D printing wizard of the internet and I thank you for your service

Ok simple swipe got it. But… showing it being swiped and a print results while explaining it would be the final touch. I’ve tried glue stick with poor results. I went over to Magigoo for its ease of applying. I also went to a pei surface. The recommendation of “ just use glue stick” is never well presented as to one swipe or many. Also on a hot or cold bed. Chuck has gives his recommendation on what glue stick to try abs that’s a good start for me when my Magigoo is gone! I’d liked to have seen his favorite glue stick applied and a finished print removal and surface outcome. Fortunately that’s a quick easy update he could add to his next video for all of us that haven’t used glue stick or weren’t impressed the way we were using it. Any experts can fast forward thru that. Problem solved.

I have found watered-down PVA glue works well. It is water-soluble, so easy to clean off. This was required when printing things like the articulated lizard, which have tiny footprints for some segments. I had zero success rate before applying a layer of this (just dabbing a paper towel in it then wiping down the bed to leave a layer), and no adhesion problems thereafter.

Hairspray works well if you just spray into a papertowel, then wipe the bed. Doesn't get everywhere. The trick is to just wipe it down to get a thin coat. That being said I stopped using it when I switched to the Wham Bam PEX surface.

Wham Bam is the best upgrade I made to my printer.

Love my Elmer's purple for prints with less base surface to help them stick to the bed. Great for use around the brims to help deter lifting. I use Windex Clear with Vinegar to clean any residue from the bed and have had great results so far.

It's incredible how well this actually works.. I had a few glue sticks that said conforms to "ASTM D 4236" that I got from a few filaments I ordered and decided to keep them, and I'm glad I did. I could never get prints that are 0.12mm thin to actually print, so I could never print in super good detail, because it would never stick, since it was such a thin initial layer. I always have done 0.2mm which is decent, but after around 50 prints on my glass bed; the initial layer was never sticking firmly anymore. I wanted to sway from using glue but I didn't realize you could just wipe it off with water after around 4-5 prints and recoat it. You def earned my like.

Don't really like glue stick when I begin 3D Printer and all the time feel to much work. But once I use it I never stop using it. It's really make my life easier. Thank you for this video 🙂.

I've been printing on a piece of hardware store glass 1\8" thick for a very long time. If everything is level and the bed is clean, I never have any problems. I'll keep this in mind if I start having any issues.

I use thin picture frame glass with Aquanet. So nice! I just pull the glass off, let it cool, and I can HEAR my print pop off the glass. Or I rub an ice cube on the bottom of the glass under the print, and speed up the release. I then put the ice cube back in the freezer, and REUSE my ice cube LOLOLOLOL!

Yup, level the bed, clean the bed and use a swipe of glue: works almost every time. When it doesn't, use a raft.

Thankyou so much for posting this. As a novice, its easy to get the impression that "real pros don't use glue sticks" . I tried everything on my ender 3. Bed leveling, frame checks, stepping, different nozzles, temperatures, beds, etc etc etc... The ONLY thing that has worked to get that perfect first layer not to peel was glue sticks. I'm sure there are great professional bed adhesion products out there, but for the noob like me, this advice was a Godsend.

Honestly, ever since I bought a heated bed, and placed glass from a $2-3 target frame on top, I've never had adhesion issues. Every print I give it a quick clean with alcohol. Then I updated to an official glass bed. With the heater cooling down, I could lift the entire printer up by the print, it's that strong

3:24 missed opportunity to say ,,for now I'll stick to the stick", would be kinda funny

Thanks so much! I was having a print that wasn't sticking for like the 5th time in a row and first try after using a glue stick it worked! :)

I have had the same experience with glue sticks I use the Elmer's Purple. Works Great for me. I have had Ender 3 V2 only since August 2, so I'm new to this. I've gained a lot from Chep's tips.

PETG was driving me crazy. The Overture build surfaces work perfect for PLA, but PETG was ripping it trying to get parts off, but I would still get warping on large prints Elmer's glue stick on smooth borosilicate glass works great, believe it or not.

You are a hero my Friend!!!!! I've only done a small amount of 3D printing over the last few years, I even stopped printing for like 2 years because Stuff stopped sticking... I got so mad I was about to buy a whole new printer. But I found your video and IT REALLY WORKS!!! THANK YOU!

The Avery glue stick recommendation did wonders! No longer do I have issues getting my prints to stay on my print bed! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Wow, it just works ! I've spent a whole day to level my bed, configure a temprerature, replace an filament, googling, a lot of GOOGLING. But now it works for me. My first layer sticks well to a bed. I don't know how to wash the glue from my table , but guess it is possible by isopropyl or ethanol

Warm water on a cloth washed it right off.

Okay okay, I never tried before after watching this last night, Decided why not. Wow I really should have tried it sooner. I used purple glue stick on a textured bed. Best print I've gotten out of that bed. Thank you Chuck!

Well, I'm a rookie (first week of printing) and I know I have a lot to learn, but I came up with a variation of the glue stick option. It involves the same purple glue, but in a liquid form. I dilute it (about 60% liquid glue-40%water mixed well) with water and then spread it out on the bed. Much more level coating on the bed, it's thinner, and it has only slightly less adhesion. The prints stick, and they are just a little easier to remove. I only use one or two DROPS, so a small bottle of the brew will last for months. It also doesn't make that mound of glue in the middle of the bed that can happen with the glue stick. Before anyone asks, yes, the water evaporates when you heat the bed (50c is what I use for PLA). Leaving only a thin layer of the glue. It's also a lot easier to rinse off with warm water.

Works everytime . Once applied , after the first print , I just dampen a paper towel and gently go over the bed after the print . Good for 4 or 5 prints . Big help in releasing flexibles .

I have used this method for years and it works great. In fact often times I only need to draw an X or O to catch the print. When that isn't enough I use a skirt to show where glue is needed, stop, glue, then restart.

Been using the Elmers purple sticks and had really good results on my Ender 3 V2. It's easy to see while applying and then clear during the print. I usually apply when the bed is heating up, it goes on easier.

hey chuck have you ever tried glue stick, and wiping it across heated bed with a wet napkin? the glue stick can be very thin, in fact with wiping it of (when it is hot) the glue spreads thin and the water evaporates. always good videos. even for some of us that have been around since reprap darwin projects. the video's keep the skills fresh....

i tried it chep and its awesome solved my warping issues and everything thank u so much happy printing thanks for all your help

I have used it in the past and it works well. It is a must with petg and glass beds.

I'd recommend trying this method: Run your glue-stick in one direction and LIGHTLY coat the plate as consistently as possible (doesn't matter if you get complete coverage - just even distribution), then do the same, perpendicular to your original passes. Wait for it to dry. Grab a MISTING spray bottle (fine droplets) and mist the plate until it's covered. Take a foam brush and paint out the wetted glue in one direction (wipe any pooling right off the plate and onto a rag). Let it dry and now you have a very consistent and thin layer of glue, with no clumping or buildup.

I got Ender 3v2 with the carborundum plate. No matter what I tried all the PLA filaments I had (HatchBox, Overture, and MatterHackers) would warp slightly in corners, even while the rest of the print had good adhesion. I even tried using a brim and while brim would hold great the corners of the actual models would still warp despite the brim. After almost 2 months of struggling, I decided to flip the bed to the smooth glass side and try glue. Problem solved, no brim needed, the prints stick great and no more warping. So yeah, glue stick is amazing.

Thanks for this video, its made life so much easier I'm no longer having to keep checking my prints every 15 mins :)

A $10 piece of ordinary glass on my Ender 3 and glue stick worked like magic. Cheap and very dependable.

i think chuck looks good with a bit of a beard

I was ready to throw my Vyper in the trash until I watched this video. Simple, elegant, and cheap! Thanks

Glue stick for the win! I had a BL touch that I could not get to work properly. After many hours of troubleshooting and frustration, I reverted back to manual mesh bed leveling and a bit of glue stick. I am getting better first layers than I ever got using the BL Touch. Much happier with manual bed leveling. Thanks for the tip Chep!

I am using the other side of my Ender 3 v2 neo build plate as the top one sticks too well and with glue its awesome

Glue stick is great for prints that might run out of filament. Twice for me, having the print glued down saved it because I was able to adjust in Cura to print the remaining layers. Had the print broken loose, it would have been wasted since there's no way that I'd get the printed part perfectly aligned to it's original position again. Elmer's Purple for me. I like to thin it out on the bed with a little alcohol. It leaves just enough to hold the print well.

My jam is 3M blue painters tape. Works great, can get a fair number of uses before I have to strip it away and place new tape. I use 90% alcohol between prints and a lint free cloth to wipe the surface.

I used glue sticks for a little bit when I got into 3d printing but honestly just upgraded to a PEI bed it's 1000x better

Great advice. Worked on my new printer. The first 4 small print jobs worked perfect. Now nothing sticks, tried cleaning to no avail. glue stick just worked!!

Works great, the only issue I will add that wasn't mentioned. If you are printing on a glass bed and looking for that high gloss finish, the glue will imprint into the print. You still get a very smooth surface, but you can see the glue stick swipes in the reflection. For this particular print I was hoping for that glass finish and only see those concentric patterns on the bottom layer, but still turns out good.

Yup. CHEP is right. Glue Stick WORKS every time. No questions. I have tried many way until one said that the Glue Stick works the best. For better products: Elmer's Glue Stick. I have been doing it since I first applied the stick and didn't had any problems since.

Purple glue stick has been my only solution ... Works 100% of the time

Thanks so much I sat mine boggled because I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t sticking And just a little bit of Elmers glue worked thank you so much

thanks for the videos chep, really happy to have found a new hobby as I really dont have many

Agreed. Glue stick does have it uses. I used them myself on a cutting board print surface, before I got my 1st comercial printer. Almost every type of glue stick worked, except the most exspensive brand glue stick, called Pritt. Perfect for paper, but not 3D printing. A touch of hairspray on my creality glass bed, and it sticks like crazy, except ABS.... My BIQU B1 with its SSS springsteel bed works like a charm, but it will wear out. We must all remember, the only part of your 3D printer that doesn't wear out over time is the extruded aluminum frame.... Great video. As always entertaining, educational to relevant.

I did this the other week after weeks of failed prints. And i haven’t had a failed print since. No more rafts in my house

Thks alot, new to this and had problems on my 2nd print 😮 ive already heard for the glue stick metod but was skeptical but thats confirmed what i heard, ive tried and it works🎉

I switched all of my machines to wham bam spring steel pei. Love it. No glue and no tools to scrap off prints. Sticks great and pops right off when it’s done. The bed isn’t really disturbed when removing the plate so I rarely need to level.

Aqua Net is my favorite brand when I was printing on $3 cut to size ( ender 3 printers). I cut my own so I have several I cam swap and hairspray on outside and not on the printer! However, going to a pei flex surface over a year ago eliminated any coatings for pla and a quick scuffing of 000 steel wool before any critical print project as insurance. Otherwise when ever I see any sticking issues. I also move small prints around in my slicer to avoid using the exact same location for every Print. Cuts down on surface prep requirement. I so a quick ipa wipe before every prints from a pump action reservoir top makeup bottle from $ tree. Two pumps abs my paper towel has enough 91% ipa in it fir a wipe. I do use Magigoo for Petg and have a dedicated pei surface I damaged/ scored early on due to a z offset mistake just for Petg now. I did use $3 glass but it cracks over time due to the high bed heat. Why I’m interested to try glue stick again is my Magigoo will runout and if glue stick is successful, it would be a a better $ choice. I use a BL touch, now a CR Touch, to deal with pei assuming any bed warping highs and lows and removing and replacing it to remove prints that may change the z offset or the bed springs.

Thank you for video, I got one good print out of 3 attempts , since than they won't stick or the moving head would catch the filament on bed and rip it off . I have also leveled the bed quite nice

I have used glue stick on the glass bed of my Cr-10 and is has worked flawlessly. I did have to wash the glass sheet with soapy water and found I always needed to relevel the bed afterwards. I have since swapped out to a wham bam PEX magnetic bed surface and love it. Yes I do need to rough the surface with steel wool every so often and wipe with ipa but it works great. I rarely need to level the bed anymore. Great video btw. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

Love the channel! This stuff seems complicated at first but you explain it well.

Never had to use glue but I am sure it will happen. Thanks for the video explaining the reason to use. So far water or rubbing alcohol work.

My personal preference is a cheap pink *pump bottle* of suave hairspray. It's very easy to control the spray so you don't get over spray all over everything like chep said here. Everyone always refers to cans of "aquanet" type hairspray for some reason, it makes a huge cloud and is bad for the environment so I use pump bottles. If I have a difficult print that pops loose after a couple layers then I'll leave it on and run 3 or 4 single swipes of glue stick where the print will be. Keeps from having to fight it to get it off and 9 times out of 10 it gets the job done.

Thank you sir , I have the same problem and going to try this out

This works wonders. I have a slightly uneven bed and was getting adhesion issues despite how many attempts to level the bed, adjust bed temp, or slow down the initial layer. Some of the purple Elmer's glue stick lightly applied over the entire print area and I have an absolutely pristine first layer.

I have used the Elmers School Glue and it does work. I will try the Avery some time also. Thanks for the tips!

Glue stick….the cheapest you can get. Works great. Cleans off with window cleanser….the cheapest you can get. I spent 5 bucks and have years supply of both and prints failing to adhere is a distant memory.

Hairspray works great for me and after a while I just run my bed under some hot water and all the old hairspray comes right off and my bed still looks new and yes you have to be strategic with it make sure it doesnt get on straps and fans but its works for me. I havent tried a glue stick yet because Hairspray worked so well for me. I will try it per your recommendation. Thank you.

My Ender 3 has always struggled with large, full bed prints because they edges will warp. Recently came across this video, and I needed a full bed print. Worked like a charm with Elmer's purple, but I'll try Avery when I run out.

Glue sticks and other adhesives works not only for sticking, but for proper "releasing". PETG can stick to clean (deoiled) glass so well, so you could get pieces of glass on your model. Those "glue sticks" that works - are all made on basis of PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone) - the same for many "3D spray glues". Those sprays could be made of PVP, isopropanol and some distilled water - very cheap, and gives very nice first layer. Also, for some naughty filaments (like PA or ABS) you could use "polyvinyl butyral phenolic" glue, twice deluted with isopropanol - works like a charm, thin film works nice for several prints, and could be removed by placing glass bed under hot water for several minutes.

I will try, thanks

I agree with the use of the glue sticks. It hasn’t failed me yet. Great video👍 thanks!

I have been using glue sticks for years now and am very happy with it.

Thank you Chuck for keeping bed adhesion simple. Works great for me too without heating the bed for pla.

Totally agree. Once I found glue stick I never looked back. I print a lot of ABS which is prone to curling and glue stick saves the day every time.

I like the glue stick too.. Works like a charm every time

I have the same ender 3 glass bed, I print about 60 to 80 parts a week on it all without glue or what not. 65 bed temp and a slow initial layer speed of about 10 and I have perfect surfaces every time. Of course I also have a bl touch and make sure the bed is level.

I swear by the glue stick. Makes such a difference and is so easy to do. Doesn’t matter how good my bed level is the glue just helps.

Creality Glass Bed and a thin film of hairspray, works for me. And of course, a good bed levelling :)

I laughed at the hairspray until I tried it in frustration when my new ender 3 v2 wasn't sticking to the bed. I had read or saw on KZread about hairspray. My sister gives me her hair spray cause of lockdown and she wasn't using it. Works and is washable with water and a heated bed. Works great.

I used a glue stick and after a while it was just to difficult to remove and it also failed after a while. Then I tried firm hold hairspray it holds on and I can go layer on layer. It also cleans easy with hand sanitizer alcohol. Every once in a while I still need to level my bed but I think that is just because of the cleaning after using hair spray but that was the case with the glue stick too. Hair spray is also easier to apply. Just a layer or to and we are ready to print. And when it leaves a little imprint after removing the objects you just smooth it with another layer and keep on printing. The glue stick had to be cleaned every time because it lost it's stickiness after one print.

I appreciate the honest and straight forward information. Subbed and bought a little glue from the link. You won’t make much on that but hey, it all adds up! :)

When I worked in plastics injection there were multiple different settings that you adjusted to get the right part. Different guys had different settings for their machines but still ended up with good parts. It was whatever works and a different machines reacted differently along with different weather conditions and material.

I have been using the elmer purple glue stick since I got my ender 3 v2 about a month ago and it has pretty much completely changed the game. I have had a total of 0 issues relating to bed adhesion, except if it sticks too well then you can just knock it with a blunt object (such as a screwdriver handle) and it comes right off.

Thanks for the tip, it really did help.

I use 3d lac spray when using a glass bed, its fantastic

I get the use of glue stick totally and completely. I've stuck with a thekkiinngg textured pei sheet for the last few years and it works great still. I print mostly pla so either I wait for prints to self release or I get impatient and flex them off. I use glue stick for pc and hair spray for nylon then wash it off and print abs, pla and petg no problem.

True words spoken here, do need to say that I use hairspray and indeed that comes also on parts of the printer you don't want. I'll be using gluestick as well. Great video Chuck!

I use one swipe of glue stick then smooth it on with an IPA swab. After a few prints, I'll refresh it with another IPA swab - no need to apply more glue for weeks. I also learned the hard way to ALWAYS use glue stick (or some middle layer) when printing PETG on a smooth PEI sheet. Expensive mistake.

I use the WhamBam + Glue stick I discovered this on my own. So it’s good to see you like this also.

Lovely Video Thanks sir!

works great, thanks!

Right now printing a 30+ hour print. I tried to print this thing (a big skull, takes the whole ender 3 V2 bed) multiple times before, but always had the problem that the first layer just did not want to stick well. No problems with small prints, bed is level, clean surface. I experimented with a lot of settings to get the first layer perfect but nothing seemed to work. Took me month or so to finally try glue stick and voilà! The first layer was instant success and I was able to finally get this thing printing! I would definitely recommend the glue stick when having these sort of issues. Mine is really cheap stuff but it just works. Had I come across this video a month ago (not possible since time is linear and what not), I would probably have saved a lot of headache! PS its still going at 21 hours right not, fingers crossed it comes out successfully, since I don't have enough filament to try again if it does not ;)

I always use something to aid adhesion, usually glue stick. I got tired of applying and cleaning my CR10 S5's large bed so I recently started using Layerneer Bed Weld and I have been really impressed.

I just watched your video again. And you mentioned that a moist filament doesnt stick very well, and I couldnt agree more, I was having problems with adhesion with one filament in particuĺar unless I really used a lot of glue over the bed. I left it drying for a day, and it was fixed. Now it needs just a bit as usual
