Our Plastics Promise

We want you to trust every Doodle you or your children create! That’s why we partner with the best engineers and factories around the world, and source only the highest quality plastics.

All 3Doodler plastic strands are made from the highest quality materials, at factories in the US, UK and Spain, and they have all been subjected to the strictest standards of safety testing. This includes passing RoHS testing, Toxological Risk Assessments, LHAMA compliance testing, and heavy metal testing by labs including Intertek and Bureau Vertias (two of the world’s most reputable testing labs).

Our 3Doodler Start plastics melt at low temperatures so that they are completely safe for kids, and they are also certified as compostable, meaning they will break down over time under typical household compost conditions. Something we are all pretty excited about is that ALL of our plastics are certified as recyclable.

We are proud to work with many trusted retailers, such as Michaels and Target, who value (and also insist on) high standards of quality and safety testing. Unfortunately, there are an increasing number of plastics available through online marketplaces which claim to be compatible with the 3Doodler, but are not. In addition to damaging your 3Doodler pen, the third party plastics are often sized wrong, low grade (resulting in poor quality output, including bubbling), and come from questionable sources, or have certifications from unknown labs where safety cannot be verified.

We promise to uphold only the highest standards when it comes to our plastics, and in doing so, we hope to make your choice as easy as… Doodling a pyramid!

And again about adhesion... (glue sticks part 2)

3D printing

here: http://3dtoday.

ru/blogs/mister-magomedov80-yandex-ru/adhesion-kalyakaexperience123/

This site has written a lot of articles about adhesion agents for 3D printing. I would also like to contribute my little bit, in connection with which I purchased several different samples of glue sticks (more precisely, all the samples that I could find on sale).

I want to clarify that the tests are carried out on a ZAV printer, in a heat chamber, with ABS 'Prostoplast' plastic, at a temperature of 230/95.

The first sample is 'ErichKrause' pencil glue (the most common glue is a pencil in all stationery stores), which, upon arrival at home, was the very first smeared in two layers on a clean, washed 4-mm mirror.

A model of a classic spinner was sent to print, which was already on a flash drive. The first layer went perfectly, the part did not come off, even in the absence of a skirt. Given that the area of ​​adhesion of the print to the mirror was minimal... the glue stick did the job!

I am very satisfied with the initial print using this sample. The second print of the same model, in the same place was successful! The part didn't come off!

Next, for test printing, I chose the model http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:802145 the so-called 'gyroscope'.

'Gyroscope'

Let's move on to the next test participant. Sample #2 is a strange triangular shaped glue called 'De Vente'. Glue of lilac color with an unpleasant smell. Applied to the mirror in two layers, the first print went well. The second print in the same place came out just as well. Fingerprints are removed from the mirror without difficulty. This adhesive is usable.

Sample #2.

Sample #3 'Silwerhof' glue stick This glue sample is based on PVP. Glue is applied easily to the mirror. The plastic adhered perfectly on the first print and also stuck on the second print without any problems. The prints come off the mirror with difficulty.

sample no. 3.

sample no. 4 glue stick 'A+'. This glue is designed for gluing paper, cardboard and fabric. The glue is applied to the mirror with difficulty and sticks strongly. In this connection, it was applied in one layer. The adhesion of this sample is weak, the plastic does not stick well even at the first printing (although for some reason I had hopes for it :)). Glue in the trash!

Sample No. 4.

Printing result with sample No. 4.

Sample No. 5 'ErichKrause Joy' glue stick, which was also hoped for, did not fit for printing at all, the plastic did not stick at all. Summary: in the trash!

sample no. 5.

sample no. 6 'Hatber' glue stick applied easily, first print and second print went well.

swatch no. 6.

swatch no. 7 'De Vente' gel adhesive stick, colorless, pleasant smelling, applied with great difficulty and in a thick layer, therefore, it was applied in one layer. However, this did not prevent the plastic from sticking to the surface perfectly, on the first print and the second! This glue remains as a 'helper';)).

Sample no. 7.

left side of mirror smeared with sample no. 6, right side with sample no. 7.

sample no. . The part comes off with difficulty. This glue goes to 'helpers'.

Sample No. 8.

Sample No. 9 PVP-based glue stick 'Alingar', I was not satisfied with this glue, the first print was unsuccessful, I didn't even start the second one.

Sample No. 9.

And the last one....

glue stick 'Tukzar' apparently Turkish) is not suitable for printing, throw it away!

Good luck everyone! Thank you for your attention).

My experience with adhesion on a 3d printer

One of the main problems that I encountered with the operation of a 3d printer is sticking of the workpiece to the table. This trouble has two extreme manifestations. Either the printed model does not stick to the table, or it sticks so that it cannot be torn off.

While researching the problem, I realized that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. And if something helps someone, then it will not necessarily work for me. Several factors affect adhesion at once: the material and geometry of the table, the temperature and uniformity of heating, the properties of the plastic, and the environment.

I've seen a lot of posts on the forums that some plastics can stick very well to clean glass. I took the same plastic, carefully wiped the glass, but did not get the desired result.

Today I settled on glue sticks. I print only three types of plastic: sbs, pet-g, flex. All of them adhere perfectly to the table through glue.

But, not all glue sticks are equally effective in our business. I found only two manufacturers whose products are great for 3D printing. These are KALYAKA-MALYAKA and Erich Krause. In addition to them, I tried a few more glue sticks, but did not get the desired result.

KALYAKA-MALYAKA for good adhesion on a 3D printer

KALYAK-MALYAK's glue stick performed better than Erich Krause. I don’t know how in its main function, but in 3d printing it surpassed its competitor. A thin layer of glue perfectly holds all my heads. And right after the first experiments, I ordered myself a whole package of KALYAK-MALYAK.

The adhesion problem seemed to be solved. But I was in for a failure. Not all KALYAKI-MALYAKI are equally good. From tube to tube, the degree of adhesion varied. I noticed that the more saturated the color of the pencil, the better it does the job. A couple of times, when printing large models, I failed. The model came off the table surface. Pencils with a pale-colored adhesive turned out to be completely unsuitable for 3D printing.

Pencils of this type are not sold in our city. And it is not possible to check the color of a pencil when ordering via the Internet. Therefore, to my great regret, KALYAK-MALYAK had to be abandoned.
