Magigoo Adhesive – Reliable print bed adhesion for 3D printers

Magigoo is the new generation of adhesives for 3D printing . The previous generation of adhesives was available in spray format, which had to be applied outside the 3D printer to avoid damaging the printer's components, polluting the environment, and being disruptive when used indoors. Many users ignored this recommendation and applied the spray inside the 3D printer , leaving traces of the adhesive in the fans and other components. This affected operation and will almost certainly lead to malfunctions in the future.

The Magigoo series consists of:

Magigoo PP

Magigoo PPGF

Original Magigoo

The Magigoo is the opposite of the above; it is a Odorless liquid adhesive , which comes in a container in the shape of a stick with a Applicator at the tip It is included, which simplifies its use. The Magigoo magic begins as soon as the base reaches a certain temperature (40°C for PLA) . (or 90°C for ABS ), this product adheres the piece to the base with such force that it could "be printed upside down with a 3D printer ". Under normal conditions, the adhesion lasts a very long time, with Printing for more than 30 hours without problems . This clamping force helps to hold the To prevent warping , something dreaded by hobbyists and professional users alike. Once the base has cooled, the piece very easily removed , as shown in the following video:

But the Magigoo doesn't only work effectively with PLA or ABS , but is Compatible with many other materials , even technical ones like ASA . Special PLA , Special ABS , PETG , CPE , HiPS , TPU , and even some brands of nylon . Even with a single Magigoo, more than 100 3D prints will be carried out .

If you large-format FDM 3D printers or a 3D printer farm If you have a large, inconvenient Magigoo format (50 mL), it can slow down the 3D printing process and even lead to uneven application, which can affect the quality of the 3D printed parts.

To solve this problem, Magigoo has developed a tool: the Magigoo applicator, which is equipped with works with the new 250ml format of Magigoo glue. The Magigoo applicator It allows the Magigoo adhesive to be applied in one pass with high precision to achieve an even application across the entire printing surface.

Please note that the 250 ml format was specifically designed for use with the Magigoo applicator. Therefore, this format does not include pads for direct application like the 50 ml format.

Magigoo PP

The Magigoo PP is exclusively intended for polypropylene filaments (PP, XSTRAND GF30-PP). PP is a widely used material in the industrial sector because it is a semi-crystalline polymer with good impact strength and ductility. Furthermore, its non-polar structure makes it resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for food packaging and medical devices. This property makes PP very difficult to adhere to other materials and conventional 3D printing adhesives (3DLac, DimaFix, PrintaFix). Thanks to Magigoo PP, this problem has disappeared; the application of this liquid adhesive in combination with the hot base This guarantees a 3D print without warping problems . Furthermore, the part is very easy to remove after the base has cooled.

Magigoo PPGF

As part of the development of specific adhesives for special materials, Magigoo offers a Adhesive specifically for polypropylene with fiberglass This material exhibits one of the greatest mechanical properties on the market, with a very high tensile modulus and good chemical resistance. The Magigoo PPGF is the ideal adhesive to use with the to combine advanced XSTRAND GF30-PP filament and produce parts without adhesion problems at the base and to remove them easily.

Magigoo PC

The high mechanical resistance of Polycarbonate (PC, PC Max PC-ABS) makes it a A very interesting material for FDM/FFF 3D printing . Its high glass transition temperature (Tg) enhances its use, but with a disadvantage: adhesion to the base of the 3D printer is often complicated, especially when producing large parts. Magigoo PC ensures that prints adhere firmly when the print bed is hot and are easy to remove once cooled. This unique and innovative mechanism from Magigoo eliminates the need for tools to remove prints from the base; they simply pop off when the bed cools.

Magigoo PA

The nylons (PA) are already frequently used in the prints of all types of 3D FDM printer users. This is because this material has been crucial for manufacturing parts in many industries for years, and because it many filaments with a nylon base (PA12, PA66) or PA6) reinforced with carbon or glass fibers (Nylon-Carbon Fiber CF15, XSTRAND GF30-PA6, etc.). The Magigoo PA is a An adhesive specifically developed for this type of material , which typically exhibits adhesion problems at the base, even when using high-performance hot-base adhesives (3DLac, DimaFix, PrintFix, or others). Furthermore, Magigoo PA facilitates The part separates once the base has cooled down and requires a simple stop to remove the part.

Magigoo HT

Magigoo HT is a professional-grade adhesive designed to withstand the pressure of To facilitate the printing of filaments that require very high printing temperatures . This type of material includes filaments such as... PEKK, PEEK, PEI and their variants with carbon or glass fibers, advanced filaments with high mechanical properties, chemical properties, and high dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Due to the aforementioned properties, industries such as the automotive and aerospace industries, the military, or medicine These filaments are increasingly used in their products and spare parts. The Magigoo HT adhesive formula facilitates the printing process by enabling the part to adhere to the base without affecting its mechanical or chemical properties.

Magigoo Flex

Magigoo Flex is an adhesive specifically designed for printing with flexible or elastic filaments. These types of materials Magigoo Flex is frequently used in the production of parts that require a certain degree of flexibility , such as handles, seals, or shoe insoles. Its high flexibility allows parts to adhere to the base during the printing process and be easily removed after printing is complete, leaving no residue or marks on the base.

Magigoo Pro Metal

Magigoo Pro Metal is a specially developed version of Magigoo that Perfect adhesion with BASF's metallic Ultrafuse filaments offers. It is the The only BASF-approved bonding solution for use in debinding and sintering processes . Like all Magigoo solutions, it is neither hazardous nor flammable. This allows for easy removal of the parts from the print bed after cooling .

The polymer mixtures used as binders in BASF's metal filaments They tend to warp when cooling . Along with the Brittleness of the components It is therefore important to use a solution that offers very good adhesion at high temperatures offers, but also easy removal of the component after cooling This allows for the avoidance of deformation or breakage. Furthermore, it is due to the thermochemical nature of the debinding process. It is essential to use approved products that do not contain flammable substances or could impair the reaction.

Magigoo Pro Metal is compatible with BASF's Ultrafuse 316L and Ultrafuse 17-4PH.

Kit Magigoo

For all those versatile users who both conventional filaments (PLA and ABS) as well as technical materials (e.g., PC-Max, Nylon-Carbon Fiber CF15, PP, etc.), Magigoo offers a kit that its main adhesives (Magigoo, Magigoo PC, Magigoo PA and Magigoo PP) as well as a Cleaning cloth includes a cleaning solution for the print base once the part manufacturing and removal process is complete.
