Magigoo PC Instructions

How does Magigoo PC work?

MAGIGOO® PC is the 3D printing adhesive designed for use with polycarbonate type filaments.

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.

WARNING: Using this product with filaments that are not PC-type filaments might cause over adhesion and damage your build surface.

MAGIGOO® PC has been designed and tested to work with different polycarbonate filament brands. As the composition of each plastic is a little different, the ideal settings for MAGIGOO® PC may vary.

Settings and Recommendations:

  • Bed and nozzle temperature : follow filament manufacturer’s recommendation.
    Bed Temperature : 100-120+ °C
  • Enclosed chamber recommended.
  • Some prints may benefit from a raft or brim for extra adhesion.

For more specific settings, check out our list of tested materials.

How to Apply

  • Shake the MAGIGOO® PC pen like you mean it
  • Press the nib (end of your pen) on the printing bed for MAGIGOO® PC to flow.
  • Spread the adhesive evenly on the printing area (cover your bed with an even thin layer).
  • Make sure that no spots are missed.

MAGIGOO® PC should be applied on a cool bed which has been appropriately cleaned (preferably with water). Make sure to use MAGIGOO® PC with the suggested plastics and with a correctly leveled bed and suitable printing settings. Squeeze bottle gently only when the nib is pressed against the bed. Keep the nib away from dirt.

WARNING: Ensure proper bed leveling. Having the nozzle too close to the bed surface may cause excess adhesion, damaging the bed.

For more tips and tricks on 3D Printing and using Magigoo PC, kindly refer to the Magigoo Manual.

After your prints have been removed, clean the cool printing bed by wiping it with a damp cloth. Use just water.

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

How to store

MAGIGOO® PC is best stored upright, with the cap closed and away from direct sunlight. MAGIGOO® PC was specifically designed for mobility, which is good news if you want to take it with you on-the-go.
