WHAT:

MAGIGOO PC is designed to work exclusively with polycarbonate type filaments. This

adhesive for professional use makes sure prints stick firmly when the print-bed is hot and

that the part is easy to remove once it cools. This unique and innovative mechanism

means that no tools are needed to remove prints from the bed. They just pop off when the

bed cools down.

WHY:

The strength and toughness of PC make it an ideal FDM material for the production of

functional prototypes as well as end use part, nonetheless the material does present some

printing challenges. Virgin PC has a high glass transition temperature (Tg) and thus can be

used in high temperature applications. However, having a high Tg can make it very difficult

to print using desktop printers, as these are usually not equipped to cater for the high

printing temperatures required to print virgin PC. Virgin PC in fact tends to warp

considerably when printed at an insufficient bed temperature (<130 ºC), in non-heated

enclosed chambers without the use of an appropriate bed adhesive. Certain

manufacturers have improved the printability of PC by the use of plasticizers or blending

with other materials. Nonetheless when using these solutions some difficulties are still

encountered, firstly with adhesion especially on larger parts still can be an issue. In

addition to this some bed adhesion sheets have been proposed to avoid the warp

encountered in larger prints, but in this case there is a high tendency that the adhesion

sheet being used fuses irreversibly to the print. This means that the expensive sheet

needs to be removed very often and also incurs a lot of post processing and cleaning.

Magigoo PC can be used on glass or multiple other surfaces. Use on other plastic based

surfaces, including sheets is recommended to provide strong adhesion and preventing the

part to fuse to the sheet.

HOW:

MAGIGOO PC has been designed and tested to work with different PC filament brands.

As the composition of each plastic is a little different, the ideal settings for MAGIGOO PC

may vary.

Shake the bottle.
Apply to the desired area by pressing the nib on the bed (activating the inner valve)

and spreading as needed.

SAFETY:

Using this product with other than PC type filaments might cause over adhesion and

damage your build surface.

Tips:

For larger prints a 20 mm brim with multiple layers is recommended

In cases of excess adhesion, it is recommended to wet print bed with a small amount of

water slowly work it below the part, this should make part removal easier
