Hi there, folks!

Allright folks, let me start by showing you why I prefer
to use the hairspray over gluestick:
If you look at this print
you can actually see the residue of the gluestick
wich I don't like, because is not uniform.
If you look at this piece, wich is printed over hairspray,
you can even see some splatters
but we are trying to correct this today.
Anyway, the surface is way smoother than with glue stick.
When it comes to what kind of hairspray you can use
any kind you can find in the stores.
What matters is this number over here wich shows how strong the hairspray is.
This is number 4,
but since I have some friends who are hairstylists
I got my hands on a number 5 super strong spray.
And we are going to test this to see the results.
First of all, what you need to do is to clean your glass bed with dishwasher solution.
Add a little bit over the glass, let it for a few minutes, then place it under the water jet.
In order to remove all the water stains and fingerprints
that might still be on the dried out glass, you use a clean cloth, soaked in alcohol
and gently rub the surface with it.
Now that we have a clean glass
we start to apply hairspray
You agitate it a little bit before (use).
And when you apply it, you start from outside the surface of the glass bed
and you add it in layers.
Like this!
So I've placed the glass bed back in the printer
and now I am going to heat up the bed to let's say 80 degrees (Celsius).
Allright. Now that temp has reached 80 degrees
we just let the bed simply to cooldown to room temperature again.
It is time to remove the glass bed and apply the second layer of the hairspray.
When you apply the second layer, you must do it perpendicular to the first one.
Repeat the steps with heating up, then let it cool down to room temperature.
After the heat up and cool down, you apply the 3rd and last layer, perpendicular to the second one.
And again, heat up, and let it cool to room temp and then you can start printing.
Allright, folks!
This is the end result of what I've showed you in this video.
This is a simple piece, it has 0.6 mm in height,
it has 0.2 mm per layer, so it's 3 layers.
The printer was perfectly calibrated,
hairspray applied like I showed you in this video.
And look at this!
Adhesion is perfect, it has perfect layers.
Why I have this gloves on my hands ?
It is simple.
It is because the tip I wanted to tell you about.
You dont't touch the plate with open hands!!!
Why ?
Because you leave fingerprints on the plate and you have a drop in adhesion!!!
You can use this to slowly remove (the piece) from the glass bed.
There we go!
