This is after 3 rounds of scrubbing with alcohol-
Not only are glue sticks against the rules, and incredibly rude to other members of the space who have to clean up the mess- they also DO NOT HELP ADHESION. It looks like the print that was last run on this plate was stopped midway through- likely due to adhesion problems.
If you are having adhesion issues, smearing what amounts to grease on the plate will not help. You likely need to clean (actually clean) the build plate instead.
Thanks, Nick.
I want to reiterate that we have a no glue sticks policy at Asmbly. Please don’t leave messes for the next person to clean up.
There’s a chance this may be UV resin contamination as well after further discussion. Please be careful while using any isopropyl alcohol containers in the MPR until they’ve been double checked by a steward.
Confirmed. Someone filled one of the wash bottles with contaminated IPA.
Someone has finished work on this and called it done.
