A 3D Print Bed Adhesion Method Using Sugar Water: Original Technique Explained #30

[@lubu20]

Nice to see you back with more helpful videos, keep them coming!

[@mysimplefix]

Thank you! Working on it.

[@robertyoung2398]

Glad to see you finally got your video up!! Thanks for the BEST video on the subject!

[@mysimplefix]

Thank you! A follow up video is nearing completion too..

[@robertyoung2398]

@@mysimplefix Again Man Thanks I feel bad for all those guys in their first couple or more years in still having problems! what a dark dark place! Glad I researched! Cheers!

This takes me back to 2011/2012 in the heart of the RepRap movement as we discussed doing this and some had great success while other did not. ABS was a real hit or miss with this technique but PLA, being a sugar cane derivative, stuck very well. Some people, at the time, complained they did get ants on their machine if they left it sitting for a few days.

LoL!

[@JAYTEEAU]

Thanks. Very interesting approach and I love the theory craft behind it. Cheers, JAYTEE

Me when I read title: “the what”

[@mysimplefix]

Everyone!.. Please remember that the water droplets you see following the "first wipe" disappear and form a SMOOTH flat sticky surface when this procedure is followed as shown. Also, one sugar application lasts for more than one print! You can do several prints before another sugar wipe is required.

AWESOME! You safe my money and time! Thank you

[@akai454]

Thank You , I'll try this when I get a printer :)

[@fabianluethi03]

do you have a printer now? ;D

[@jopieterse6448]

Thank you so much for this video! I have tried everything else (probably) to make my CTC Bizer Dual print without a raft and finally something that works. I don't use a glass tile (yet), but it works very well on the normal painters tape.

[@bt4670]

Just tried it out, works great! Thanks for the vid.

[@justinscheller8928]

You could also try using soda pop that has sugar in it

[@EpicF4de]

A vid after 2 years

[@samgalopedevdigest]

Works great!!! Thanks!!!

[@NYYMANIAC23]

Can you make a larger batch of this and put it in a jar instead of making small batches all the time?

[@mysimplefix]

The reason I made the mix so small was because it went such a long way. Because the mixture is so concentrated, at larger volumes if left in a container I wonder if the sugar mix might recrystalize over time? Someone needs to test it out.

[@Kraanist]

This works great! Thanks.

[@galacticgamers8705]

I think i'm going to use this today.

[@JuniorIqfar]

Is this glass borosilicate?... Or glass like for window?...

[@mysimplefix]

The CR-10s that I'm using has a glass plate (supplied with the printer).

[@estebanandresantoun7664]

Lo probare! Buen video. Una solucion bastante economica (muy economica en realidad) frente a los costosos (por lo menos en Argentina) lacas y demas adhesivos que se utilizan sobre la cama caliente! Gracias!

[@mysimplefix]

Thank you!

[@Red-ml2sv]

Love the vids

[@mysimplefix]

Thank you! Much appreciated.

[@manfirebirdF350]

interesting

[@2DJeff_3DPrinting]

Very interesting! I'm gonna have to try this. Just one question. Have you encased any ants yet? Jk. But, seriously, I am gonna try it. Thanks for posting!

[@mysimplefix]

No ants. Super easy to wipe off with a moist cloth if they did ever appear.

[@beckerg04]

Same recipe as making humming bird food, no joke lol

[@mysimplefix]

Exactly!

[@sr-de5nz]

Thin layer of PVA WHITE GLUE just ok for me. Just wet it with isopropyl alcohol 70% content for next print. Bed 50, nozzle 210.

[@3D_Printing]

3D printer with a sweet tooth😊

[@mysimplefix]

Ha, yes!

[@allidsarebusy]

Dude, have a beer on my account! Crazy good idea!

[@janmzb]

This voice somehow reminds me of Bob Ross :D

[@darkhypersthene7108]

I'm more worried about ants finding their way into the 3D printer

[@_FFFFFF_]

Yeah, this is the only downside i've seen.

[@fabiogarcia1431]

At least, the bed will kill them, so you can eat them afterwards.

[@RamKumar-zn6vj]

Adopt an ant eater as your pet. Problem solved.

[@backgammonbacon]

The print sticks to the sugar because its surface is far rougher than glass no need to invented magic sugar caramelisation transitions!
