Printing Bed

Are you getting the all metal hotend from trinitylabs.com?

 

Has the Trinity one arrived, I remember you had not received it. Let me know which one is better if you would not mind, after some good testing!

 

Thanks Cambo!

 

Hey I actually know this one Harry, ABS juice or ABS slurry is actually simply ABS plastic completely dissolved in Acetone. The proportion I do not know but it can be varied easily by either adding more Acetone or some scrap ABS material. I believe though it is supposed to be fairly translucent when done in the right proportion. The trick is with the application, from what I have read this stuff works in the extreme when dealing with abs as it acts like a cement and a lot of people using to strong of a solution end up having a very difficult time removing the printed object and in some cases end up destroying it. There are several ways to get around this and it will generally come from experience but here are some possibilities:

Use a weaker solution
Apply in a hit or miss area on the surface just dabbing some intermittently
Using crumpled to apply
use a normal brush to apply and then a dry brush to take part of it back up
Apply it with a very course utensil
Apply it over a screen


The end result is an application that is covered in some areas and not in others
Think of a crossword where just the black is the ABS slurry
The main thing is it really depends on the actual footprint contact size of your print if it has a large contiguous base like a box I would use it sparingly if it has multiple smaller contacts points the maybe a bit stronger solution

Another solution is hairspray I believe the brand was something called Final Net but that can be checked out easily enough

 

Guess I was too late to help
