These Underrated Products Make 3D Printing Fun Again

You guys know me... I love a good listicle. I've done listicle videos on things to 3D print, hardware to keep around, tools you need... But in this video, I want to share with you guys a handful of products that I literally can't believe more people don't talk about. Products that have completely transformed 3D Printing for me, giving me fewer failures, fewer headaches, and less wasted filament.

Let's get after it!

3D printed scrapers are not sharp enough and have a short life. The Bambu metal scraper is sharp but requires a great deal of care to avoid damaging the plate. Plastic razor blades are quite sharp, will not damage a plate, last a long time when scraping parts off the plates, are cheap, and have many other uses.

I have a recommendation for you throw that scraper in the trash and get a rounded nose paint palette knife, the metal lies flat on the bed (not at an angle) and the spring steel is about as thin as a sheet of paper (gets under prints way better) and yet is almost impossible to bend or break. In fact this is what I have been using for 10 years now and I will never use a 3D printer again without one. Oh, and the brims or little bits of support, just lay the tool flat on the bed a ways away and sort of ram them, even the toughest to pry off then just pop off and go flying, only down side is when you move your printer table your going to find tons of these little bits behind it on the ground. I actually sent one of these to 3D printing nerd when he first started out. Asked him about it a year ago and he said he still uses it all the time (though I have not seen him use it on his videos)

I use 3dLAC as a bed adhesive. Works amazingly

[Shraedar]

I just went through my leftover bambu labs stuff and found the scraper parts. I never even knew about it! Thanks for sharing!

[advancedleveldiagnostics]

Lol, I didn't believe my X1c came with the scraper parts, but I looked again, and you were right!

“Unclog your printer’s peepee” 😂 That reminds me of when I first heard about the polypropylene magigoo variant… I ran around my house exclaiming “MAGIGOO PP!” in a funny voice. I’m 41 years old.

What works really well for me is to clean the bed with alcohol before heating it up, then lightly dusting it with hairspray while the alcohol is still wet. As the bed heats up the alcohol evaporates and leaves a super thin layer of hairspray on the bed.

"Gloves are required" Also in the video: Using the Glue without Gloves. xD

[jokingtiger]

I use Vaseline to remove the white haze caused by CA glue and activator and it works great. It is also cheaper than 3DGloop. I am on a budget, and I always have CA glue and Vaseline on hand, with having 3 kids.

[bwselectronic]

Definitely gonna check out a couple of these

That gloop stuff uses methylene chloride, which, essentially, melts the plastic and welds them together. I use ut for paint removal. It is nasty stuff and is illegal to sell to consumers in the United States. Im surprised they have gotten away with selling it here

[OregonFishingGuy]

Absolutely love your channel. I have gotten so many great ideas!

[TheSwedishMaker]

I wish I knew about those bed adhesives before. Getting them right away!

[-Primer-]

Bed adhesion....cheap hairspray has never failed me.

[gizmofactory]

As long as 3d GLOOP does not fix their shelf life, I will never buy this. 6 months after opening is ridiculous, especially with their large bottles and high price

[Unknown-ymgz]

i immediately ordered the magigoo and the nozzle maint kit. thanks for sharing this

[sandrarubio]

Vision miner for adhesive / release agent, dilute it by 50% with IPA and you will have a near lifetime supply. Works with any filament type, leaves no residue. Cannot print without it.

[mitchellbernstein]

I’ve read in a couple places that grape seed oil works well to coat the nozzle because of its high temp property.

[dsl]

I thought one of the containers in the thumbnail was a beer bottle and I immediately agreed with your list 😅

[JBDuk]

Started to wonder why I suddenly had a few orders for the Plastic Repellent Paint, loaded up my subscriptions and now I know :D
