How to Properly Apply Glue Stick on Your Mark One Print Bed
Preparing the Print Bed
Using the supplied glue stick is essential to protect your print head, maximize print success, and ensure easy part removal.
Apply a thin, even layer of the water‑soluble kids’ glue across the entire bed or only the area where the part will print. A light coat keeps the print adhered without creating a residue that can clog the nozzle.
Before each print, wipe any excess glue with warm water and a paper towel. The bed’s waterproof surface allows full submersion for a thorough clean, but avoid using a dishwasher or any soap—soaps can damage the finish and leave unwanted residue.
When cleaning old prints, scrape off any residual plastic with the bed’s included scraper. If glue remains, rinse with warm water; again, skip soap.
Quick Tip
For best results, apply glue only to the intended print area. This targeted approach ensures a secure bond and simplifies post‑print removal.
