Hi all,
Can anyone suggest anything to get the print to adhere to the build plate. I've been using the Gel from Jordi but have now run out. Surely there must be another way to make the prints stick???

Use a small amount of another castable resin and brush it on the plate. Then post cure the build plate for about 10 seconds under UV light. Should be able to make the SolusWax stick nicely now.

Re: Solus Wax not sticking to build plate
thanks, I'll give that a go. I had some luck yesterday by scratching the build plate with emery paper and then using the lattice support

Yep, I was going to suggest that. I read it when setting up my Solus the first time and THANKFULLY, I've never had my prints fall off the plate. I don't use the Solus Wax though but I did use the MJ WaxCast before and people were experiencing similar problems of non-sticking prints. The gel wasn't available back then so the solution was emery paper and smearing a different resin on the plate.

Re: Solus Wax not sticking to build plate
Io have great success with just smearing the Solus Wax resin on the build plate and letting it set while I set up my print in Contour.
