Magigoo Glide Instructions

Magigoo Glide provides a rapid, efficient and mirror smooth Magigoo first layer adhesive application with the use of the Glide Roller.

First Time use

Remove the security seal

Before using the Magigoo Glide for the first time, first unscrew the cap and then remove the security seal. Replace the screw cap.

Attaching the Stand to the Roller

The included stand just slides and clicks on to the Glide roller to keep it upright after use. Simply follow the steps in the images for installation instructions.

How to Apply

  • Shake the MAGIGOO® glide bottle like you mean it
  • Twist the transparent part of the screw cap to open the glide bottle
  • Put a few drops on the printing bed depending on the size and texture of your bed. A little bit goes a long way!
  • Spread the adhesive evenly on the printing area using the Glide Roller (cover your bed with an even thin layer).
  • Make sure that no spots are missed.
NB! If the roller doesn’t roll due to a slippery surface, it is normal.
You can still use it to achieve a thin, even Magigoo layer.

It’s best to apply MAGIGOO® when the printing bed is still cold for the smoothest application possible. Make sure to use MAGIGOO® with the suggested plastics and with a correctly levelled bed and suitable printing settings.

After your prints have finished and popped off, clean the cool printing bed by wiping it with a damp cloth. Use just water.

Magigoo Original

MAGIGOO® Original is the 3D printing adhesive designed for use with PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU and HIPS.

The adhesive makes sure prints stick firmly when the print-bed is hot and then releases as soon as it cools down. 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.

MAGIGOO® has been designed and tested to work with common plastics. As the composition of each plastic is a little different, the ideal settings for MAGIGOO® may vary. Here are the recommended temperature ranges for effective application.

MaterialBed Temperature*
PLA40 – 60 °C
ABS90 – 110 °C
PET-G60 – 90 °C
TPU40 – 80 °C
HIPS90 – 110 °C

Magigoo Original can be applied to commonly used 3D printing surface such as glass, PEI, Buildtak, Powder coated flex plates, Kapton tape and others.
