Magigoo PPGF Instructions

How does Magigoo PPGF work?

MAGIGOO® PPGF is the 3D printing adhesive designed for use with glass reinforced polypropylene (GFPP) filaments. The adhesive makes sure prints stick firmly when the print-bedand are easy to remove once the print bed cools down.

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

Settings and Recommendations:

  • Bed and nozzle temperature : follow filament manufacturer’s recommendation.
  • Brim : a 20 mm brim might be needed for larger prints or when warping occurs.
  • Enclosed printer recommended

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

How to Apply

Refer to Safety Data Sheet before use.
This adhesive contains components which have the following properties: corrosive, causes eye damage. It is recommended to wash hands thoroughly after using this chemical. Avoid contact with eyes and gloves are recommended. Avoid breathing mist/vapours/spray.

  • Shake the MAGIGOO® PPGF pen like you mean it
  • Press the nib (end of your pen) on the printing bed for MAGIGOO® PPGF 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® PPGF should be applied on a cool bed which has been appropriately cleaned (preferably with water). Make sure to use MAGIGOO® PPGF 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.

Part Removal and cleaning

Wait until the build plate is completely cooled down. It is recommended to gently peel away the brim around the part using a print removal tool. The print removal tool can then be used to gently lift the part off the build plate. In case of excess adhesion, wetting the build plate with a small amount of water and slowly working it below the part should make part removal easier. Alternatively, one can heat the bed to 60-80 °C to aid with part removal.

After your prints have been removed,use a wet sponge to remove all MAGIGOO® PPGF residue. Once the layer is wet it will form a white layer which can be easily scrubbed off with an abrasive sponge. Once the layer is completely loose from the glass, it can be wiped away with a damp cloth.

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