Oh, I’m a-doin’ it.

This part is actually slightly outside the “safe print zone” dashed lines on my build plate. I put down like half a can of hairspray on it right before the nozzle descended. Wish me luck.

    huh, hair spray, makes sense

    i’ve been using an FDM-specific spray, but I bet hair spray is more cost effective

      There are some materials where that’s probably a better idea. Polycarb or Nylon leap to mind. But for PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, etc. I’ve found that hairspray works just fine. I’ve been doing it for years.

      The cheapest you can get. Maximum sticky, minimum scents and aloe vera or whatever the fuck else. I use Aqua Net.
