Careful what you say to your Grandmother

All of my hobbies require stuff to be ordered online. There is a few exceptions and one is glue for the build plate. My Grandma loves seeing us open stuff for Christmas even if it is something small rather then just giving out cash. I mentioned to her that I have a few projects that I would like to do but it requires electronics and other things from amazon so it would be nice to get the majority of my Christmas budget in cash (recommended by my mom) and just get a few small things like candy or socks. It popped into my head that I was on my last glue stick and I said that I can always use a pack of the elmer glue sticks to prep the build plate. Last weekend I get a call from my mom asking if I need 99 sticks…… My grandma got me $150 worth of glue sticks. My mom and aunts told her to return most of it/they will do it since she is embarrassed. We have concluded she thinks the glue is what holds the prints together.TL:DR Grandma bought $150 of glueEdit: I did a word or too, writing is not a strong suit. http://ift.tt/2ezD62t

Lexan as a build surface

Heard somewhere that Lexan is a viable build surface ( obviously for everything else besides PC). I can’t find any local suppliers for PEI sheets and amazon does not ship to my country while lexan sheets on ebay are relatively affordable and cheaper than other plates such as printinz/buildtak/printbite. Does anyone here have experience with this ? http://ift.tt/2gblomH
