Most cost-effective 3D printing adhesive: 3DBooster Lock saves time, materials, and money
When looking for the most cost-effective 3D printing adhesive, the list price isn’t enough: you need to consider adhesion, durability, compatibility, and cleaning time. 3DBooster Lock wins on all fronts: a single 400 ml aerosol guarantees dozens of perfect prints on any FDM filament (except nylon) and costs just €18. Let’s look at the numbers.
1. Total coverage, zero compromises
• Materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PC-ABS, PC-PBT, PC, TPU.
• Temperatures: from 50°C to over 110°C.
Common adhesives often only work with PLA or PETG and fail above 80°C.
2. Record durability
A single uniform application on the bed lasts for over 30 average prints without reapplication. Stick adhesives require touch-ups every 2-3 prints: wasted time and risk of filament waste.
3. Self-releasing prints
Once the bed cools below 45°C, the model lifts off without knives or force: fewer breaks, fewer reprints.
4. Lightning-fast cleaning
Hot water + sponge = residue gone in 30 seconds. For micro-residues, just use a bit of isopropyl alcohol, the cheapest and safest lab solvent.
5. The bottom line
| Budget glue stick | 3DBooster Lock |
|---|---|
| €10 for 10 prints | €18 for 30+ prints |
| €1 per print | €0.60 per print |
| Limited compatibility | All FDM filaments |
| Frequent touch-ups | Set & forget |
How to use in 4 steps
- Clean the bed.
