I generally use Magigoo Original for all standard filaments—TPU, PLA, ABS, PETG, etc. For specialty materials (TPU, PAHT-CF, PC-FR, and so on), I switch to the matching Magigoo formulation. Just like other high-performance adhesives, Magigoo grips firmly when hot but releases cleanly as it cools.
Three months ago I fitted my X1 Carbon with a Wham Bam carbon-fiber build plate and ran a series of temperature tests. You can read the full write-up here:
A dirty build surface coupled with too-low temperatures is a common cause of supports detaching mid-print—even if the part itself looks perfect. If you’re seeing poor adhesion:
- Cleanliness first. Make sure your build plate is spotless (you’ve already done this), since any grease or residue will drastically reduce grip.
- Double-check your temperatures. Your nozzle and bed settings may need to be higher than the stock profile if your room runs cool.
- Account for chamber temperature. The X1 Carbon has no heated enclosure, so ambient air can cool your print and weaken adhesion. Even on machines like the H2 Drive, which has a controlled chamber, the system can struggle to keep up over long prints.
Making those tweaks should help your supports—and your parts—stay firmly in place right through to the end of the job.
