Thanks for the tips guys. I ended up using the ABS juice that I had even though it didn't look like much of my ABS dissolved in it. It worked perfectly. There was no lifting, the parts stuck enough that I had to pry them up a little to break them loose after the bed cooled. I tried the AquaNet Super Extra Hold technique a couple of weeks ago but couldn't stand the really thick hairspray smell. Maybe I had too much on it or my bed temp was too high but it felt like someone had spray that stuff in my nose and mouth.

I have a new issue with my hobbed bolt shredding my filament but I will post that in the OrdBot forum. Thanks again for the tips!

AquaNet makes an "unscented" variant which isn't totally scent-free, but very tolerable.

It's in a purple can.

For my ABS, I've started using an Elmer's School Glue Transparent Drying Glue Stick. You can get them at the dollar store for almost nothing and can apply it to a small area easily. It sticks much more solidly, comparable to what I've seen PLA do on glass. I don't know why it works, but it does.

“Has anyone compiled a list of filament suppliers and their associated filament characteristics. That would be a great thread to make into a sticky.” - You can try the 3d2print.net. Their list of filament with specified characteristics might help you find what you’re looking for.

MIGUELKENDRICK, we got it! You work for 3d2print, we understand. Your posts would be more helpful if they had substance other than you pimping your companies product. Very subtle dude.
