How can I get good first layer adhesion?

Good first layer adhesion is of the utmost importance in obtaining the best results for your prints. There are several tricks to get the first layer of your ABS print to stick better to the print bed of your printer:

 
  • Use polyimide tape (Kapton or PET tape).
    • ABS prints generally stick better to polyimide tape than to the print bed. When preparing the print bed, leave small gaps between your strips of tape, rather than having overlaps. Overlaps may cause difficulties later on during the print process. Using tape is unlikely to leave a residue on your print bed.
       
  • Coat your print bed with hairspray.
    • ABS generally adheres well to extra-strong hairsprays. Caution, hairspray may leave a residue on your print bed.
