DimaFix Pen - adhesive for printing surface in Pen format

What is Dimafix Pen?

Dimafix® is a product from DIMA 3D to be used for better adhesion of material to the print surfaces of FDM printers with heated platen.
Dimafix® Pen is the stick format.

What are the features of Dimafix Pen?

• Dimafix provides a strong grip between the printed material and the printing surface so that "warping" is no longer a problem even in large ABS prints.
• DimaFix Pen is an adhesive for 3D printers that requires a heated print bed.
• It comes in a 90ml stick size that offers a strong bond between the first layer and the build plate due to its adhesive strength when the platen is heated above 60°C.
• Below 45°C DimaFix becomes inactive, so prints can be easily removed from the printing plate.
• The adhesive is completely soluble in water, so cleaning the build plate is an easy process, whatever your printing surface.

At what heated platen temperatures can Dimafix Pen be used?

The different temperature of the printing surface results in different levels of adhesion.

• Below 60°C: no adhesion, objects can be peeled off the plate
• 60 - 75°C: medium adhesion, for simple geometries
• 75 - 95°C: high adhesion, for complex geometries and long prints
• Above 95°C: very high adhesion, for very complex geometries and very long prints

How to apply Dimafix Pen correctly?

1. Shake Dimafix Pen well before use
2. Clean the print bed of your 3D printer
3. Check that the temperature of the platen is below 50°C
4. Apply Dimafix Pen to the print bed (when the bed is cold)
5. Wait a few seconds for the adhesive layer to dry
6. Heat the print bed to the appropriate temperature for the filament used and start printing
7. When printing is finished, wait for the print bed to cool down
8. Remove the printed piece from the printing table (when the table is cold)

Since these are chemical compounds, it is preferable to use them in a well-ventilated room.
