Best Bed Adhesive For 3D Printing

A clean PEI bed needs nothing for PLA. Adhesive earns its place on ABS, and as a separator for PETG.

5 ranked · nothing here paid to be listed

1. 1

   Magigoo

   The purpose-made stick: grips when hot, releases when cold, and one application survives several prints. The price is the only argument against it.

2. 2

   Elmer’s purple glue stick

   Pennies for most of what Magigoo does. The purple shows coverage and washes off with water.

3. 3

   Vision Miner Nano Polymer

   The high-temperature answer for nylon and polycarbonate. Overkill below 100 °C bed temperatures.

4. 4

   3DLac

   The European staple: a spray that goes on thin and even. Overspray ends up on everything near the printer.

5. 5

   Aqua Net hairspray

   The classic on glass beds, and pointless on PEI, which is what most current machines ship.
