MG PLA Red v.s. Heated Kapton bed...
September 24, 2015 09:40PM
It's been a long time since I had to ask a question here...

I've tried other PLA and usually got it to stick to my Heated Kapton bed at the right temprature.

However, I am having trouble finding the right temp for this MG Chemicals Red PLA.

I have tried 60-95, 40, 0. Zero almost worked. It still lifted around the edges.

Could it be I'm printing too hot? 210-220 (sugested)

50% White glue/water on the Kapton or just using blue tape work, but leave a mat finish. I would prefer the gloss of the glass or Kapton.

I only tried once on raw glass. Will have to try again.

Anyone using MG PLA please help.

Thanks,
Komb'

Nevermind.

Although the Box says 210-220c I tried running it at the usual PLA temp of 170-180c with a bed temp of 60c and it works fine.
