Kreatos Glue Stick for Build Plate
A PVP-based glue stick for 3D printer build plate adhesion. The simple, non-toxic solution to first-layer adhesion problems.
What it is
Sometimes the answer to bed adhesion is not a coated build plate, a heated chamber, or a complex surface treatment. It is a glue stick. PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) provides reliable first-layer adhesion across most filament types, washes off with water, and does not leave permanent residue on your bed. It is the simple, non-toxic solution that has worked for years and still works now. Especially useful for PETG, ABS, nylon, and other filaments that fight smooth glass beds.
Best for
- 3D printer build plate adhesion
- Glass build plates
- PEI sheets (light application)
- Difficult-to-adhere filaments (PETG, ABS, nylon)
- First-layer reliability across most FDM materials
What it does well
- Reliable first-layer adhesion
- Compatible with most filament types
- Non-toxic
- Washes off with water
- Easy to apply, easy to remove
- No permanent residue
Notes: Apply a thin layer to a clean build plate before printing. Re-apply when adhesion drops. Wash off with warm water and a soft cloth between major maintenance cycles.
