<p>There are all sorts of stories of what to put on your printer bed to make your part not come loose when it is printing but can be removed after it is done without requiring a hammer and chisel.</p>

<p>Is there anything out there that shows an analytical comparison?</p>

<p>My biggest interest is PLA on a heated glass base. </p>

I am not affiliated with them but really like the idea and have it on three of my printers, works great. </p>\n\n<p>For best results overall I recommend PEI material on top of the spring steel plate. the PEI works great for PLA at 50°C and PETG at 80°C. And you can still break both materials loose easily by twisting the plate. No damage to the sides of your parts from prying. </p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 4054, 'author': 'Brad', 'author_id': 7104, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/7104', 'pm_score': 2, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>I already spent time reading up on this and quickly worked out there is a lot of useless products out there. Sure they may work however it adds a massive cost to your print. </p>\n\n<p>What I have found works best for heated glass beds is Glue stick, nice and cheap, lasts a long time and has never let me down. Bed temperature is also very important to get right however out of all the products I have tried, Glue Stick works the best. </p>\n'}]
