Ender 3 pro Glue Stick Ritual

thingiverse

Do you ever print something and need them to be dimensionally accurate, but you made the mistake of buying Hatchbox PLA white when you have a glass bed and now you have to use the mighty purple glue stick for bed adhesion and to also prevent lifting, but applying the glue stick is always annoying and inconsistent, leaving uneven patches and areas where the parts won't stick because you missed it and couldn't see cause looking for glue marks on glass is hard, and now you are left with areas you try to patch up but end up just making areas with too much glue and its now uneven? Well, So did I, so annoyed at that fact that I took the time to design this. I call it, The Glue Stick Ritual. Do this Ritual and you will never face that problem ever again. How do you do this so called ritual? Easy. Print out the Glue stick Holder and the band holder. While those are printing, obtain a rubber band through any means. The glue stick holder will snap onto the front left corner of the extruding assembly of the Ender 3. Loop the band vertically around the holder. and put the glue stick in the holder. put the band holder in the glue stick's backend hole and move the band into the crevice of the band holder so it is applying a constant downwards pressure. Now hold the glue stick up while you start the CE3PRO_Custom_Path on your Ender 3. It will start slow so you have plenty of time to get ready to release the glue stick but once the glue stick is fully over the print surface, you can let go and the printer will go through 2 zigzags applying a nice even coat of glue everywhere. The ending procedure causes the extruder to lift up and over the glue stick letting go of it so there is no need to pay too much attention to it after the ritual has begun. Once the ritual is complete, you will be blessed with a premium quality purple glue spread on your print surface. In all seriousness though, do just have a dry run without the glue stick in just so you can see the path and familiarize yourself with it. Get rekt Hatchbox White PLA. Me 1, you 0 Man, I laughed at the picture for far too long.
