The World's Best Bed Adhesive - Nano Polymer Adhesive Overview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2021
- This is the most versatile build plate adhesive in the world -- and i'm going to tell you why:
It’s been quite a development process, and has surprised us, and it’s the only bed adhesive that works with virtually all materials. Sounds like a tall claim, right? Well, it is, so let me tell you the story, how we created it, what it took, and what we made.
What led to Vision Miner creating NPA?
- Vision Miner started with a focus on high temp materials like PEEK, ULTEM, PPSU, etc.
- 2017 - using glue sticks (standard at the time in FDM 3D printing), with so many different
techniques that were time consuming and made huge messes
- Only worked 50% of the time
- One day we said screw this we’re making our own glue
- Hired a materials scientist
- 2 months later we had a first iteration
- Spent another 9 months to a year perfecting it
- We got it working in the first two months, but it sometimes broke glass, or didn’t quite grip well
enough… so we kept going until it was the best we could make it
- Tried it on an ultimaker with PLA and found it worked really well
- Tested it with more materials and it worked with nearly everything
- Knew we had to make it available for our customers
- Other Info
- Made it in an R&D Lab 100% made in the USA
- Non toxic compounds with an Isopropyl Alcohol base
- Works on Glass, PEI, Carbon Fiber, Buildtak, FR4, Garolite, just about everything as long as
it’s a heated bed
- You’ll never need to print with a brim or raft again
- STILL Only thing that works for high temp - Magigoo did not work
Features
- A bed adhesive Designed for PEEK, PEI, and high-temp materials
- NO MESS, cleans off with water
- Better Grip than other solutions
- Works on Many Surfaces
- Easy to clean and reapply
- Works with normal-temp materials like ABS, PLA, and Nylon, on heated beds
- The only thing it doesn’t work for is PP and POM!
- Made from safe, non-toxic, organic compounds
Note for ABS & PETG On Glass
- ABS contracts very quickly when it cools; because of this, the risk of chipping, chunking, or breaking glass is higher with ABS. We recommend using Kapton Tape, PEI, or some other type of protective surface on top of glass when printing ABS.
- Make sure your first layer is PERFECT -- if it is too close, you risk breaking your glass. This is well documented in the community and we are not responsible for your broken build plates, especially when your first layer is smashed into the plate. Many people have set an extra-close z-offset to stick their filament to the bed -- with our adhesive, this is unnecessary.
- ENSURE PROPER LEVELING. High-temp materials must be removed extremely quickly. High Performance Polymers cool faster than glass, which can cause chipping. Prevent this by removing parts quickly. Again, this has nothing to do with our adhesive, and has happened well before we developed this wonder-product

Additional Questions
What does it work with?
- PLA, ASA, Nylon, Polycarb, ABS, ASA, PEEK, ULTEM
- With the low temps PLA and PETG, I’ve printed over 50 prints on a single coating, no re-applications or cleaning at all! That one blew my mind, and it’s part of the reason this stuff works for consumer machines, and your wallet.
- Basically works on everything except POM and PP
What surfaces does it work on?
- Borosilicate Glass, Ceramic Glass, most Carbon Fiber, PEI, BuildTak, Kapton Tape, PCB Board, FR4, Fiberglass, Aluminum, etc. and just about everything else we’ve tried. Now, for aluminum and steel, we’ve found it depends on the carbon content, and thickness of the coating, so no guarantees there.
- Where can you buy it?
- Worldwide! We’ve got dealers in North America, South America, Australia, Europe, AND Asia!
- No matter where you are, check out our website for our full dealer at visionminer.com/resellers
What makes it worth $50?
- 300 coatings - 7x7 build area

When I print PC and nylon this is my champion
You covered it like a blanket. Another exhaustive essay from Rob's Encyclopedia. You turned it inside out, from top to bottom, from A to Z. Any other questions just don't need to be asked. If somebody has a question, just watch the video again and listen a little better the next time. I was afraid i was going to have to go into the three day weekend without another Vison Miner video, but you guys did not let me down. Thanks again. Have a blast, but wear your safety goggles.
It is good stuff. I use it in my Stratasys Fortus 400MC on an ULTEM 1000 build sheet. Sticks well but allows me to pop off the print when cool and then re-use the build sheet! Saves me a lot of money over the stratasys build sheets!
Yes!! This is a huge application around the world were hearing about more and more - thanks for helping spread the word!
I love this stuff!
I've been running this stuff for a few months and it's helped make more temperamental filaments a lot more predictable for me. A perfect companion for advanced FDM production or just the tough to stick filaments
This is really awesome!! I’m hoping that my college can get to the point where we can print with engineering plastics while I’m in school. I love rapid prototyping/3D printing and problem solving.
Excellent product! I fought with my Prusa using CPE HG100 (higher temp PETG) for weeks.. Always lifting or sticking so hard it ripped chunks out of my PEI spring steel sheet! I've destroyed three OEM Prusa sheets, but now I have zero issues. Only apply a few drops where my print will be located, spread it around and done. I also try to hit the corner where the print extrudes to clear the nozzle.
Look, I'm so glad you guys did a sample giveaway on 3D printing nerds video (so much so that you ran out lol) I use it daily, on all 5 printers, on various build surfaces and materials. I never need anything else. Really cool to see how you came up with it!
Thank you!!
Shit rocks.
I would like to see a video about the best bed probe for using multiple materials. I am having a problem changing the z-offset every time when printing different materials with layer-hight less than 100 microns. I have been using the Nano Polymer with ABS and PLA interchangeably and the bead adhesion performance is pretty pleasing. ^^
vision miner goo on sanded spring steel works very well
When is the comparison video of the EinScan scanners coming out?
Soon my friend! :)
Is there any instructions om how to apply it hot on steel?
And does it work same as when you apply it cold?
Applying cold is usually best, but when you apply it hot, do it very quickly, and it will make a thin layer of "dust" texture which can help with extra hard adhesion :)
Is there any chance of the glass plate breaking when removing the part from the build plate after the build is over?

Glass can break with no use of any adhesives depending on the material you are printing with. ABS is especially known for breaking glass. Instructions are provided on how to remove depending on the temp you are printing at.
You say it works with Nylon, does it work with all nylons? PA12, PA6 and PA6/6.6 copolymers? I have a few rolls of PA12 (Fillamentum FX256) im not able to print with my prusa because nothing will make it stick to the bed without warping... (ive tried it all, magigoo, gluestick +++) If this is the solution i have a few rolls i could actually use!
Yep, we’ve tested and it works with all of those Nylons, and a few more! :)
it also works on the silly abs trays by u know who too pretty darn good but caution with glass it sticks and we mean it.
Best I know would be CF plate with this honey for almost all thermos working on the CF plate for my open build soon and can’t wait to try it there
Maybe a boat benchy build off and in an actual boat with decent winds in small a craft weapons: nano polymer and a generator go!
Come on, now its time to make the nano actuated print bed. One with tiny mechanical gripers.
Rpm act please sign it for freedoms sake also nano is decent I have and like it on CF plate
Do you ship to Colombia, South America?
Yes :)
Qual material substitui as aplicações de pom?
He recommended "HTN"
Here's their video on it: ua-cam.com/video/OCLMz05atEA/v-deo.html
Like every good workman's she'd has WD-40 on hand, every single person should have a bottle of Nano Polymer Adhesive if they do and FDM/FFF printing/additive manufacturing, from professionals, to hobbyists such as myself
In all seriousness. It’s a great product that you truly don’t need to re apply. I was printing ABS and ASA with slurry. And that sucked to clean up. For the most part everything came off extremely easy and stuck incredibly well. I don’t think I’ve even had a handful of failures in the bottle I have.
We need to pump these views up somehow🤔
Edit: re apply often** someone will say they applied it a year ago and now it doesn’t stick and want a refund🙄.

@@VisionMiner dude you guys are the best I’m absolutely going to join once it’s ready to go!
i bought it because of all the hype & didn’t see anything less than great reviews. i had warping on one side and eventually failed. i followed instructions to a the tee.
pei sheet
1. washed entire pei surface with dish soap
2. rinsed with water
3. cleaned with isopropyl alcohol for good measure
4. saw your instructions video
5. shook bottle rigorously before applying with the brush in x & y directions with bed at normal room temperature & gave it 2min after application to hear up bed
6. applied twice for good measure because it’s a 350mm bed
7. printing polymaker asa at 250 hotend & 80 bed the first time & 250 & 90 second time with same warping results.
what am i doing wrong? printer is tuned & have slicer set up perfectly to my printers that it’s usually a success print except bed adhesion is a problem for me. i thought this would be a changer for me & didn’t mind the hefty price so long has i didn’t waste 12-24 hours on prints and wasted filament. please help & let me know what i can do? heres a screenshot of the second failed print.

Other than paid reviews everyone has said it is garbage, so no surprise.
Well you do need an enclosure to print asa..(adhesive or not)
