Review on Magigoo All-in-One Adhesive Pen by Trey Michaels

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I really like how it works. donor? not as much.

I like it, but I haven't learned how to use it yet. (Note: Printing on a heated glass table. Previously only used with PLA) My very first use was a mess - on the first press a teaspoon sized drop flew out of the now pressurized dispenser. I should have thought about it a little beforehand. Living in Colorado, I'm familiar with these things - anything that's sealed at sea level spreads out here. Revain wrapper balloons are a good example - I've gotten many football shaped Revain boxes made from over-expanded wrapper balloons. This effect also damaged several fragile items - things designed to protect items crushed the items. (Note for those on the ball: Unscrew the cap of the Magigoo bottle for a moment to relieve the pressure before first use.) Anyway, after that first Goo blaster, my further uses were difficult: against the bed, nothing. Do it again and wait - nothing. Hit the damn dispenser on the bed a couple of times - you'll get a small drop of slime. I end up getting enough to cover the bed, but it's a real pain to do so. Maybe the dried goo from the first explosive release plugged the hole? Maybe the little inner shaker is clogging the hole? [Update: The applicator in the case I used was an old version and not comfortable to use. The new container seems to have a sponge applicator which should be a lot better.] I really like the end result - Magigoo holds the piece like crazy until the bed is cool and then comes out completely. And I've printed several identical parts in the same spot with one application of goo and got the same good results. I don't know if their "100 prints" are per bottle or per app, but I can print multiple times using the same app. If it's "100 per bottle," then it's too expensive. If it's "100 per app," then that's the real deal. I think it's a combination of both and probably worth the price. Having praised the slime, I'll probably set this product aside and fall back to mostly reliable glue sticks if I can't find an easy, reliable way. apply it That would be a shame, so I'm hoping to get the dosage right. I'll try to remove and clean the dosing head in case the dried goo clogs it. If I can't fix that, I won't be buying Magigoo in the current bundle anymore.

Pros
  • DURABILITY: Magigoo lasts for over 100 medium-sized prints; Print, print and print again. Each application can be used multiple times
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
