Magigoo Pro Metal - Build plate adhesive for Ultrafuse 316L metal filament

Magigoo Pro Metal 

MAGIGOO Metal was developed as a professional first coat adhesive for BASF Ultrafuse® 316L. Magigoo Metal is non-hazardous, non-flammable and also approved for use in the finishing of BASF Ultrafuse® 316L. Magigoo Metal also allows for easy removal of green parts from the build plate.

WHY:

BASF Ultrafuse 316L enables the production of solid 316L stainless steel parts through the use of desktop FDM 3D printers and a sintering process. Ultrafuse® 316L filament consists of highly refined metal particles embedded in thermoplastic binders. So, as a filament, the metal-polymer composite poses none of the labor and safety risks associated with handling fine metal powders. This makes for affordable, straightforward and safe 3D printing of stainless steel parts.

Due to the thermoplastic nature of the filament binder materials and the differential thermal cooling during FDM printing, parts printed with BASF Ultrafuse® 316L are susceptible to deformation. Due to the delicate nature of the green part, care must be taken when removing parts printed with BASF Ultrafuse® 316L to avoid deforming the part. Magigoo Metal provides secure and reliable adhesion during printing and allows easy removal of the printed part by immersion in water, avoiding possible damage to the green part.

HOW:

A build plate temperature of 95-105 °C is recommended for use of Magigoo Metal with BASF Ultrafuse® 316L, yet printing conditions may vary from printer to printer.

• Shake the bottle.
• Apply the product to the desired area by pressing the nib onto the bed (activating the internal valve) and spreading as needed. Print according to the filament/printer manufacturer's recommendations.
• After printing. Immerse the entire build plate in water or soak the part with water. After a short time - usually 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the part - the part should come off by itself or be easily removed with a slight twist.
• Clean up any residue - Wipe it off with a damp cloth.

SAFETY:

Using this product with filaments other than BASF Ultrafuse 316L may cause excessive adhesion and damage your surface. Follow the instructions in the technical data sheet for best results.
