ABS sticking a bit too well
Hi,
I did my first ABS print a few days ago. I used ICE Filaments ABS-X, with the "generic ABS" profile in Slic3r and a 0.1mm layer height. It printed really nicely, but when everything had cooled down, it was almost impossible to get the part off the print bed! I had to pry a corner loose with a spatula, and then I could, with some effort, peel it off. It stuck to the bed even more than PETG!
Before I started printing, I cleaned the print bed with isopropyl alcohol. Should I use something else, window cleaner for example, like for PETG?

I've been told that is what the gluestick is supplied for. Coat the printed area with glue, and ABS pops off easier. Recoat as needed.
