Which IPA concentration / percentage to get?
Hi everyone,
I see that the supplied IPA wiping cloths are 70% IPA.
Is the 70% IPA the recommended concentration? There is also 99.9% IPA on Amazon (for example).
I am new to the Prusa MK2S - have yet to assemble my kit that arrived just yesterday - and now want to stock up my necessary supplies 😀
Thanks and best regards,

99% works better, if you can get it. You should also consider getting some acetone (NOT nail varnish remover which contains oils) to use every few prints (it refreshes the stiction of the bed).

furthermore:
don't use these prepared wiping cloths. they usually contain other stuff than ipa as well, to avoid that the ipa evaporates in between a few seconds.
go for a 1-liter bottle of 99.9% ipa (should last at least half a year) and ordinary, kitchen paper towels.
