Magigoo: the adhesive for 3D printing.
Magigoo Metal is designed to work with PP (Polypropylene) filaments.
Magigoo Metal is a professional adhesive designed for first layer adhesion of metal polymer composites, especially BASF 316L. Magigoo Metal is non-hazardous, non-flammable and is also approved for use in filament post-processing steps. Magigoo Metal also allows for easy removal of "green parts" from the printing table.
Why Magigoo Metal:
BASF Ultrafuse 316L enables the production of solid 316L stainless steel parts using desktop FDM 3D printers and a sintering process. Ultrafuse® 316L filament consists of highly refined metal particles embedded in thermoplastic binders. Therefore, as a filament, the metal-polymer composite presents none of the occupational and safety risks associated with handling fine metal powders. This allows for economical, simple and safe 3D printing of stainless steel parts.
Due to the thermoplastic nature of the binder materials in the filament and thermal cooling during FDM printing, parts printed with BASF Ultrafuse® 316L are susceptible to shrinkage. In addition, due to the delicate nature of the "green part", care must be taken when removing parts printed in BASF Ultrafuse® 316L to avoid deformation. Magigoo Pro Metal provides secure and reliable adhesion during printing and allows for easy removal of the molded part by immersion in water, thus avoiding potential damage to the green part.
Usage:
For the use of Magigoo Metal, a print bed temperature of 95-105°C is recommended, but printing conditions may vary between printers:
- Shake the bottle
- Apply on the desired area by pressing the tip on the surface (activating the internal valve) and spreading as needed.
- Print according to the specifications of the filament or printer
- After printing. Submerge the entire print bed in water, or just the entire printed piece. After a short period of time, typically 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on size, the piece should come off on its own or otherwise will be easy to remove with a gentle twist.
- Wipe - Use a damp cloth to clean.
