Build Platform

Colorfabb Economy PLA performs well on both heated and unheated build paltforms. For those users printing on a cold build paltform we suggest applying masking tape to the build area. The rough surface of the tape will provide enough adhesion for the first layer to stick and print almost without any warping.

Users with a heated build paltform have quite a few options. Most commonly glass or aluminium. For printing directly onto glass or aluminium we suggest the application of a glue stick. A very thin layer will be sufficient to keep your print nicely in place. Another method is dissolving PVA wood glue in water, keeping the consistency similar to that of milk. By applying just a few drops and smearing this our before you start heating the bed will creat a thin layer which will hold the print down very well.

Another option is the use of materials such as Buildtak, PrintBite, PEI or Kapton sheet. These are the preferred choice, as they can last months.
