3D Printers

I don’t mean glue stick directly on the glass I mean glue stick on the WolfBite since wolf bite REALLY sticks so when the part contracts it tears the glass apart, and the glue stick lowers the adhesion slightly…

I’ll look into it I’m guessing it would work similar to an ABS slurry, but for a wider variety of materials?

yes cost a bit but saves on the long run.

Printing on glass is great. I tend to use ‘ABS slurry’ (i.e. dissolved in acetone) on glass, and it prints great.

I’ve also had great results with PEI. You can buy sheets of it online, and clip it to your print bed, and it’s a dream. Prints stick, but not too much, for PLA and ABS. And for removing prints with large surface area on the first layer, you can remove the PEI sheet and flex it, and things pop off. Less work than ‘slurry’. Tons of discussion at http://reprap.org/wiki/PEI_build_surface .

PEI is also great for PETG. I get the best results with nylon by using PEI and a raft. A little gluestick on the PEI helps keep the nylon from pulling parts out of the PEI.
