Oh, I’m a-doin’ it.
This part is actually slightly outside the “safe print zone” dashed lines on my build plate. I put down like half a can of hairspray on it right before the nozzle descended. Wish me luck.

Good luck
Is this a 2d printer next to the 3D one?
Yeah, I keep all my printers in one place.
Well, except for the laser engraver. I guess you could consider that a “printer.”
An engraver is more of a “remover” though
@dual_sport_dork Can I demand a status update?!
Hope you did enough bottom wall layers. The big tray looks like it could be a bit flimsy.
Three all around. This is not meant to bear any weight. It’s a work tray for fiddling around with knives and other small assemblies wherein I’m tired of having screws roll away and having to chase them on the carpet.
Poor a little silicone in afterwards for a soft, squishy bottom that will make grabbing small parts easier.
Good luck and let us know how it went.
huh, hair spray, makes sense
i’ve been using an FDM-specific spray, but I bet hair spray is more cost effective
Ive been using unscented Suave hairspray for years and am still on the same can since 2020. Cost me like $8
There are some materials where that’s probably a better idea. Polycarb or Nylon leap to mind. But for PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, etc. I’ve found that hairspray works just fine. I’ve been doing it for years.
The cheapest you can get. Maximum sticky, minimum scents and aloe vera or whatever the fuck else. I use Aqua Net.
As long as the borders are printing you should be golden. Not something you’d want to to often of course, depending on the printer, since you might strain the hardware at the extreme edges
