Magigoo Pro PP adhesive

Description

MAGIGOO - Polypropylene, is an all-in-one 3D printing, first layer adhesive that offers a strong adhesion platform for polypropylene based filaments. Magigoo is an easy to use 3D printing adhesive designed to reduce warping in FDM/FFF 3D printers. Warping, among other factors, is caused by the differential cooling of a print during a 3D printing process. For printing repeatability and reliability a sure adhesion method such as Magigoo - Polypropylene is needed.

Technical specifications

• Appearance: milky white liquid
• Consistency: low-med viscosity
• Solvent: water

Intended use

To be used on FDM/FFF 3D printers with a heated bed on glass surfaces. Also works when applied on sheets e.g. Kapton, PEI and similar. To be used with Polypropylene plastics.

Properties

Magigoo – Polypropylene, acts as a thermally activated interfacial layer, allowing for better interactions, both at the micro and molecular level, between the printing bed and the printing materials. It is generally recommended to print according to the printing temperatures recommended by the filament supplier. The printing conditions vary between one printer and another.

To find the best temperature one could start from the lower end of the recommended settings and increase the bed temperature in 5 °C increments.

This should be done with standardised calibration prints. Additionally Magigoo – Polypropylene, is temperature sensitive, in that it will reduce its adhesive properties upon cooling. Different printers, print surfaces or filaments will have slightly different release conditions.

Part should become easier to remove after sufficient cooling (maximum half an hour after printing).

The best and most reliable performance is achieved when Magigoo Polypropylene is applied as a thin layer. This means that cleaning and reapplying between prints is recommended especially on longer prints or challenging prints.

Storage and Handling

Magigoo – Polypropylene should be stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. After use magigoo should be stored in an upright position and with the cap on.

Excess adhesive on the nib can cause the applicator adhering to the cap. To prevent this, make sure no excess Magigoo remains on the rim of the applicator after use.

Known Hazards

• Causes serious eye damage Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Incompatible materials: Iron, Copper, Zinc.
• Please refer to the MSDS for full safety information.

Application Method

Step 1: Shake it like you mean it.

Shaking too much might cause bubbling. This does not negatively affect adhesion but will not provide a mirror finish on the bottom of the print.

Step 2: Press nib against the surface.

The Magigoo container is spring activated. Pressing the bottle without pressing the nib against the bed may results in applicator popping off and product wastage.

Step 3: Apply to Desired area

The best and most reliable performance is achieved when applied as a thin layer. This means that cleaning and re-applying between prints is recommended especially on longer prints or hard to print with materials.

Step 4: Print

After print, wait until the build plate is cool to remove prints easily.

Step 5: Clean

For cleaning - Just wipe off with a damp cloth. Yes, it’s that easy.
