To support bed adhesion for 3D printed gift models, focus on surface prep, filament-specific settings, and simple adhesion aids.
Clean the build plate with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils—even tiny residues can break first-layer grip. Match bed temperature to your filament: 50–60°C for PLA (popular for gifts) or 90–110°C for ABS. Add a thin brim (a border around the model’s base) to spread adhesion evenly, ideal for gifts with small or intricate bases.
If problems persist, apply a thin layer of filament-compatible hairspray or glue stick to the clean plate—this fixes minor issues without ruining the gift’s smooth surface.
