The problem

When Adhesion Fails, Everything Fails

Inconsistent bed adhesion is the silent killer of a perfect 3D print — wasted filament, failed parts and lost hours of productivity.

Warping Nightmare

ABS, Nylon and other filaments lift off the bed at the corners — prints warp and peel without a proper adhesive.

Mid-Print Disasters

Even beginner-friendly PLA can detach mid-way, derailing the whole job and wasting time and material.

Adhesion Failures

When adhesion fails outright you get the dreaded spaghetti-monster mess — tangled filament, zero usable output.

Why PrintStick™?

Tired of failed first layers and warping? PrintStick™ delivers strong bed adhesion during printing and effortless part removal once cooled — no scraping, no mess.

Effortless Removal

Say goodbye to stuck prints. As the bed cools, parts release easily — no tools, no damage.

Works With All Major Filaments

Compatible with PLA, ABS, PET-G, TPU, HIPS and ASA. One adhesive, universal performance.

Flawless First Layer

Consistently smooth, secure first layers — print after print, with no visible residue on the bottom.

Frequently asked questions

PrintStick™, Answered

What makes PrintStick more effective than traditional adhesives like glue sticks or tapes?
PrintStick is a 3D-printer-specific adhesive designed for reliable first-layer adhesion. Unlike regular glue sticks or Kapton tape, it delivers uniform coverage, warp-resistant bonding and easy part removal without residue — and it’s optimised for the temperature swings common in 3D printing.
How does PrintStick ensure both strong bed adhesion during printing and easy part removal afterward?
It forms a temperature-responsive adhesive layer that grips firmly when the bed is hot — minimising warping and detachment — and releases effortlessly after cooling. That makes it ideal for complex prints and engineering-grade filaments.
Is PrintStick compatible with all build surfaces and filament types like PLA, ABS or TPU?
Yes. PrintStick works on glass beds, PEI sheets, BuildTak and magnetic platforms, and supports a wide range of materials including PLA, ABS, PET-G, TPU, HIPS and more — suitable for multi-material printing.
How should I store PrintStick to ensure long shelf life and consistent performance?
Keep the bottle upright, tightly capped and away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. Proper storage gives a shelf life of up to 18 months with consistent adhesion.
Does using PrintStick reduce warping and print failures on large or complex parts?
Absolutely. PrintStick’s strong-adhesion formula anchors the first layer, eliminating edge lift, curling and mid-print detachment — especially beneficial for large-format prints and engineering applications.
Will PrintStick leave any residue on the part or damage my print surface over time?
No. It’s a water-soluble adhesive designed for clean, residue-free removal. Clean your build plate with water or isopropyl alcohol; it’s safe for repeated use on PEI, glass and other surfaces.
What’s the best way to apply and clean PrintStick for optimal results?
Twist and swipe the stick across the bed like a glue stick, applying a thin, even coat. After printing, wipe the surface with a damp cloth or an alcohol wipe. Fast, mess-free and maintenance-friendly.
