Description
- 3D Print Specific Features:
- Greatly improves print bed adhesion and prevents Warping - Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks greatly improve adhesion of NYLON, ABS, ASA, PETG and other materials (Note: Heated bed is mandatory for most materials).
- Easy removal of 3D prints - Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks cause most 3D printed parts to pop off when the print bed cools down. For removal of other more stubborn prints minimal effort is required.
- Without mess - Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue can be applied locally, without any mess, unlike using hair sprays. Can be applied easily - only where needed; no product goes to waste.
- Easy cleanup - Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks are water-soluble - can be easily removed from 3D printed objects or print bed using regular tap water.
- No toxic fumes or danger - Unlike hair sprays and acetone that are combustible and extract toxic fumes, Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks are non toxic and perfectly safe to be used on a heated plate - hot bed.
- Prevent damage to glass - 3D Prints made from PETG can damage regular or borosilicate glass by sticking too well. Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks prevent permanent adhesion of PETG.
- Instructions for use:
- 1. Clean the print bed, to remove any oils or debris, before applying the glue.
- 2. For best results apply glue sticks sparingly, in a cross-hatch pattern, to a cold print bed (at room temperature). If applied to a hot print bed, glue gets wasted and is not as effective.
- 3. Optional - Use a dump cloth to better distribute the glue over the platform. This way a very thin layer of glue will be left on the plate. Avoid removing the glue from the plate by doing gentle strokes.
- 4. Heat the print bed to the temperature recommended by the filament manufacturer.
- General Use Features:
- - Everyone's favorite for easy, no mess bonding
- - Goes on purple and dries clear so you can see where you are gluing
- - Smooth for easy application
- - Acid free, photo safe and non toxic
- - Washes easily off hands and out of clothes
- - Pack of 3 glue sticks
Reliable Adhesion for School and Craft Projects
Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks are a household name, trusted for providing easy and reliable bonding for a variety of school projects and crafting activities. This pack of three glue sticks ensures you always have a dependable adhesive on hand. Each stick contains 7g (0.24 OZ) of high-quality glue, designed for smooth application and strong bonds on paper, cardboard, photos, and lightweight fabrics. Their compact size makes them perfect for pencil cases and craft kits, ready for any creative endeavor.
See Where You Glue: Purple to Clear Technology
One of the standout features of Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks is their innovative color-changing formula. The glue goes on purple, allowing you to see exactly where you've applied it for precise coverage and no missed spots. As it dries, the purple color magically disappears, leaving a clear, clean bond that won't obscure your work. This feature is particularly helpful for children learning to glue and for detailed craft projects requiring accuracy.
Superior 3D Printing Bed Adhesion Solution
For 3D printing enthusiasts, Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks offer a significant improvement in print bed adhesion. They are highly effective for materials like NYLON, ABS, ASA, and PETG, helping to prevent warping and ensure your prints stick firmly to the build plate during the printing process. A heated bed is mandatory for most of these materials, and this glue stick works in tandem to provide optimal first-layer adhesion, which is crucial for successful prints.
Simplified 3D Print Removal Process
Beyond strong adhesion, these glue sticks facilitate the easy removal of completed 3D prints. In many cases, once the print bed cools down, parts printed with the aid of Elmer's glue will pop off with minimal effort. For more stubborn prints, only a gentle nudge is typically required, reducing the risk of damaging your print or the build surface. This makes the post-printing process smoother and less frustrating for users of all skill levels.
Mess-Free and Precise Adhesive Application
Say goodbye to messy adhesive applications. Unlike hair sprays or liquid glues that can be difficult to control and create overspray, Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks allow for targeted application. You can apply the glue precisely where it's needed, without any mess or waste. This precision is ideal for intricate 3D print bases and detailed craftwork, ensuring the adhesive only goes on the intended surfaces, keeping your workspace and projects clean.
Safe and Non-Toxic Formula
Safety is a key benefit of Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks. They are non-toxic, acid-free, and photo-safe, making them suitable for use by children (older than 3 years due to small parts presenting a choking hazard) and in any environment, including classrooms and home workshops. Unlike alternatives such as hair sprays or acetone solutions, these glue sticks do not produce toxic fumes and are not combustible. This makes them perfectly safe to use on a heated print bed, providing peace of mind.
Prevent Damage to Glass 3D Print Surfaces
When 3D printing with materials like PETG, there's a risk of the print adhering too strongly to glass beds (regular or borosilicate), potentially causing damage to the glass upon removal. Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks create a helpful barrier that prevents this permanent adhesion. By using these glue sticks, you can protect your valuable glass print surfaces from chipping or breaking, extending the life of your 3D printer components.
Simple to Apply and Effortless to Clean
Using Elmer's glue sticks is straightforward. For 3D printing, clean the print bed, then apply sparingly in a cross-hatch pattern to a cold bed. Optionally, use a damp cloth for even distribution. Heat the bed as recommended. For general use, apply as needed. Cleanup is equally simple; being water-soluble, the glue washes easily off hands, clothes, 3D printed objects, and print beds using regular tap water, leaving no sticky residue behind.
“I was skeptical about using school glue for 3D printing, but Elmer's purple sticks are a game changer for ABS and Nylon. Way less warping and much cleaner than hairspray.”
