Magigoo - MO2016 All-in-One 3D Printer Adhesive Glue - ABS, PLA, PETG, HIPS, and TPU Flex Filament on Glass, Flex Plate, PEI, Buildtak, Kapton - 3D Printing Accessories, Supplies, and Materials (50mL)

I've been using Magigoo for about 3 months, my printer runs almost non-stop and I can say without reservation, this stuff works splendidly. I've only tested it using PLA, PLA+, and PETG so far. Hopefully it will work just as well with TPU and ABS. A couple of things I've learned along the way: 1. Be careful you don't squeeze the bottle too much, or the applicator cap will pop off the bottle and you'll have this stuff everywhere. I shake the bottle really well, place the applicator on the bedplate and push gently to get the goo to flow to the pad on the tip. You only need to do this occasionally as a little goes a long way. If necessary I will GENTLY squeeze the bottle, but only if the applicator is firmly against the bedplate. I haven't experienced a bottle blow-out as others have described but I can see how this could easily happen. Use care and you won't have a mess on your hands! 2. At first I was cleaning the surface with warm water after every print, but it wasted a lot of product. Start with a clean, dry bedplate, wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol (optionally, just makes sure the surface is oil-free), and apply the product in a uniform manner. Don't worry if you have overlaps and bubbles - once the product dries it actually aids adhesion and won't make a significant impact on your print. Once I've coated the bedplate for the first time, I'll let it air-dry and then apply a second layer going at right angles to the first, and then kick on the bed heater to set the product well. 3. WAIT FOR THE BEDPLATE TO COOL DOWN before you remove the print! I wait for the plate to cool to at least 40 degrees C before prying the print from the plate. This will make it much easier to remove the print and it lessens the "damage" to the adhesive's layer. Some of the product will adhere to the printed parts, this washes off with warm water without problems. 4. I use a razorblade scraper to gently pry the printed parts from the plate, trying not to scrape the adhesive off the plate as much as possible. You will see marks on the plate where the print came off - this is great because it means the adhesive worked! 5. I spot touch-up the marks from the previous prints, and I've found that multiple layers of the product seem to work better and need less touching up over time. You don't need to wait for the bedplate to cool to room temp before reapplying the product in small areas, it just dries more quickly. The main thing is don't be in a hurry to wash the bedplate and reapply - it wastes the product and is not needed. Like I said above, multiple layers work better that just one. I've been printing for days with just touching up spots and it's been holding my parts to the plate like a lioness holding her cubs :-) I like this product because it's relatively inexpensive, it has no odor (not to me anyway), it's easy to apply and touch up, and washes off the bedplate and printed parts with warm water. On one occasion, the printed part was a large, flat plate and in that case I removed the print in the sink with warm water. It was stuck so well I was afraid I'd break the print or the glass bedplate, but under a little warm water the print just slid right off. If you use these techniques I've discovered that one small bottle with last for quite a while.

I've been 3D printing quite a while and tried pretty much everything to get prints to stick to the bed. Blue painters tape, Kapton Tape, Hairspray, Glue stick, Acrylic, Buildtak, Clean Glass. For the most part that all work to some degree. Blue tape works, but it wears off after a couple of prints and hopefully you don't press to hard into the tape and it just becomes part of your print. Kapton Tape, I don't think I ever got this to work. Glue stick, works, sort of. Parts stick kind of, and when it cools, they still stick, it's glue. Acrylic, umm. It melts and warps eventually. But you can print on it for a bit, careful don't get the nozzle too close! Hairspray, parts stick, for maybe 1 or 2 prints, and they still stick when it's cool. Hopefully you didn't put too much on or spray the rest of your printer too. Buildtak, pretty much a waste of whatever it is. Parts would stick to it and become one with it. Unless you just barely drop the filament onto the stuff, in which case you get a rats nest for a first layer. Clean Glass, has been the winner for me. So normally when I print on clean bare glass, I have to clean it and make sure the bed is perfectly level. I mean perfectly level. So I have to do this pretty much every print, maybe every other one. PLA sticks at 55C and float off when below 40C. Until you want to print with ABS or PETG. PETG Still sticks really well to the bare glass at 80C, sometimes it sticks so well the glass comes off with the part! ABS I don't print really. But I'm pretty sure it won't stick well without an enclosed chamber and 100 other conditions. That's where Magigoo comes in. Parts stick like buildtak when it's hot, and nearly float off when below 30C. With the Magigoo, I've been able to put an even layer on and launch about 5-10 prints without touching the bed. This, is kind of a game changer. This makes me a bit lazy, but is another piece of the puzzle to being able to launch prints remotely and knock the print off with the nozzle when it's done. Also, parts that have a very small footprint, I would normally use a raft and support, with Magigoo it's really not needed. Probably save $5-10 in extra filament right there. The fact that it lasts more than 5 prints per application, that's pretty huge. Then it's going to extend the life of your glass as well. How much is that worth? This will give you plenty of prints for less than $20 in Magigoo. I think it's totally worth it. Is it hard to apply to the bed? I think it's hard to re-print a part a few times because the print isn't printing perfect in the first few layers. And what if you're not there? How you going to clean off that little bit?

First, let me start by saying the reviewers who complained about the cap coming off likely didn't read the instructions. Underneath the sponge applicator there's a "nib" that when you press the applicator down on your build plate, releases the product into the sponge and while pressed firmly on the build plate you can then slightly squeeze the bottle to dispense the product. If you don't do it this way then it probably will come off. That being said, I can tell you this stuff works awesome, at least for me. I have an FLSUN Q5 which has the lattice glass build plate. Before Magigoo when I was printing PLA, I didn't have any problem with the filament sticking to the plate, which I run at 60˚c, but removing the print even after the plate cooled down I ususally had to use a razor blade scraper to at least get under the edge of the print and then I could use a plastic scraper to slide under and remove the print with no difficulty. NO MORE! With Magigoo applied to the build plate, after it cools down it's literally just a matter of reaching over and lifting the print off the build plate, no razor, no scraper, just pick it up. Might take a tiny bit of twisting just to break the grip, but that's it. Before Magigoo with PTEG, I couldn't get a print to stick to the bare plate so it became blue painters tape and a glue stick. It worked and wasn't too difficult to remove, if for no reason other than I could pull up the painters tape and the print had no choice but to come, but what a pain just putting down the tape. The attached picture (articulated snake) is a PETG print and about 80cm long when straightened out. You can see it takes up almost the whole build plate. I've read some horror stories about trying to get PETG to release from glass plates and taking some of the glass with them but when the plate cooled down, this print released even easier than the PLA prints I did before hand. I just reached over and picked up the head and everything else followed. The instructions say you can put it on hot, I haven't tried that. I just put it on when cool and then heat things up and print. And this stuff literally cleans up with a paper towel just dampened with water and you can see in the second picture the plate is in perfect condition. The couple of little marks you can see are probably from me using the razor blade before Magigoo. I ONLY have experience using Magigoo on a lattice glass build plate so I can't comment on any other combination but for this, it's awesome. And while it's certainly more expensive than a glue stick, just the ease of the whole process makes it worth the money for me.

This stuff is great. Works as advertised. Good sticking and easy release. Only problem is with the applicator not working. It looks like the foam applicator is recessed into the bottle too far, making the application difficult.

At $20 a pop, I didn't want this stuff to work. ABS juice works, however it's a pain; having to scrape it off ... or use acetone to wipe it off. Clear Elmer's and water works fairly well ... This stuff just works, it adheres the part well, but releases it easily as well ... which is confusing. I get the magi in goo now. Like I said, I didn't want this stuff to live up to the hype, but for me at least, it has exceeded expectations!

I recently purchased Magigoo adhesive for my 3D printing projects, and it has proven to be a fantastic choice for various materials like PLA, ABS, and PETG. The adhesive strength is remarkable, securely holding parts during printing without the need for reapplication after every print. Some key points from my experience: - **Ease of Application:** The product is straightforward to apply. However, a gentle squeeze is all that’s needed to avoid any accidents. - **Efficiency:** A little goes a long way. I've found that applying it in a uniform manner without worrying about overlaps or bubbles yields the best results. - **Durability:** The adhesive remains effective for multiple prints. Touching up spots instead of a full reapplication saves both time and product. - **Safe Removal:** Allowing the bedplate to cool down to at least 40°C before removing the print ensures easy detachment and preserves the adhesive layer. - **Maintenance:** It's easy to maintain - simply wiping the plate with warm water suffices. The adhesive layers over time improve the grip. Magigoo not only impresses with its performance but also stands out due to its odorlessness and cost-effectiveness. It’s easy to use, and its ability to be washed off with warm water is a significant plus. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable 3D printing adhesive.

Works really well. Leaves a little residue but definable sticky.

This glue is astonishing. I had so many first layer problems prior to owning this glue. It's easy to apply, and you just have to wipe with a damp cloth to clean it. It's designed to adhere at hot temperatures, but when it cools down it releases. Although I do wish it was cheaper, I love this glue and think it's worth the price. Five stars!
