Your cart is empty.Got a sticky nozzle? Sick of plastic sticking to it all the time? Plastic Repellent Paint by Slice Engineering is the solution for you! Plastic Repellent Paint is a revolutionary, water-based, PTFE nanosuspension that repels plastic from the outside of your nozzle and hot block. Which is awesome, because it prevents that annoying plastic buildup that causes print failures! Plastic Repellent Paint can be applied in seconds using the vial's brush top, forming a dry, transparent coating that endures print temperatures up to 290°C. Keep your nozzle clean with some high-tech space magic, and worry no more.

Ordered the other day (despite what everyone was reporting about the bad packaging: leaking, etc.) and it arrived last night. Looks like they might have worked out their packaging issues as the "paint" came in a small, thick bottle, very tightly shrink wrapped in thick plastic, then placed in a thick sealed clear packet. No leaks in shipping. Good job!My application process was:- Heated up current (ruby) nozzle (to 240), wiped off as much stuck PETG as I could.- While still hot (using appropriate gloves), powered down printer, removed hot-end, removed sock, used a cloth to remove as much remaining filament as possible, then used a tooth-pick to remove any remaining.- Let cool all the way down.- Painted nozzle and surrounding heat block and let dry. When dry on heat block it looks frosted-white. Can't really see it on the nozzle.- Re-installed sock and painted nozzle and surrounding sock and let dry.- Re-installed nozzle onto printer.Will update (review and stars) after a day or so with printing results.Update:Have been using for a few prints now and it looks to do what it says, the nozzles are much cleaner and the PETG does not look to be sticking as much as it was. As noted prior, the packaging was spot on, no leaks, no waste, bottle full.

I bought this product for my 3d printer to hopefully keep the filament from building up on my nozzle. This stuff is amazing I ended up putting this on the entire bottom of my printers hotend. And nothing sticks to it. I would recommend this to anybody it works as described. Very happy with results.

This is a game changer. Also good to know this is a product made with great care and quality. Good stuff. If you have trouble with nozzle stickage. Then this is for you.

Impressed, worked as described!BBL X1c printer, printing with PCTG.PCTG would build up on the nozzle end, and sometimes fall off, and get in the pieces I was printing. It never really caused an issue that was not fixable post-print, just annoying. Before applying this product to the nozzle end, I heated it up and cleaned it really well. I had some filament burnt on it. I let the nozzle cool and painted it with the product. The first print had no problem with the PCTG sticking to the nozzle!

Im sure the product works, but the packaging needs to be updated and addressed. My bottle came less than half full.I will likely be ordering this again, eventually.. when I do I’ll make sure I’m not in a hurry to use it. If it comes like this again I will be returning them until they come proper.

Are you frustrated with your printer? Are you about to take it into a parking lot and go straight office space on it?Hi, I'm Chase and I was about to hammer my Ender 3 into the ground with a baseball bat after a solid two weeks of trying and trying to successfully print anything other than PLA. Lol. There are a couple things I credit with taking my print game to the next level, and this is definitely one of them. In my humble opinion if you were to purchase this plastic repellant paint, a PEI build plate, and add the Bed Level Mesh plugin to Octoprint, you'll very likely end up only having a failed print once or twice a month. At least, thats my experience, and those couple failed prints only happen because the paint gets heated away during print after print and they start to fail again before you realize its sticking to the nozzle again and reapply paint. Trust me, its money well spent, and at an acceptable price too. A bottle should last you quite a while, despite being rather small. Its about the size of a finger nail polish container, but when youre just dabbing some on the tip of a nozzle once every month or so, it really has some long legs.I wish I could add pictures to show examples of how well this stuff works in practice, I feel like it always helps to see what you're buying and what it does before you purchase it for the first time. But alas, its kind of difficult to just post a picture of a big blob of filament and 25 consecutive failed prints, compared to the inverse occurrences you get when adding this plastic repellant paint to the mix. If you print in PETG or ABS, anything other than PLA that seems to really like to "booger" and tends to ruin prints as a result, this the the product for you! I have added what photos I could to help exhibit the apparent crystalline form the paint takes upon drying. This can be seen as the white almostg powdery looking substance coating the tip of my replacement nozzle. This visible coat of tiny crystals may disappear after a couple prints, but rest assured the paint is still active. As I said, you'll definitely know when its time to recoat the nozzle tip because your prints will start to fail again. Mine did at least. And as soon as I added a new coat, I got back to printing!I'll definitely be buying more in the future. This is definitely one of those quality of life products that just improve the 3D printing experience. Especially for those relatively new to the hobby and having trouble getting those more "exotic" filaments dialed iin. If you regularly print PETG or ABS type materials, you will not regret buying this product. I promise!Live long and prosper 🖖

Product is fine, packaging is not. The actual paint works at reducing adhesion of plastic to the nozzle. It is not a magic cure all but it does help.Unfortunately, between 1/3 and 1/2 the paint leaked on the inside of the bag it was shipped in, covering the exterior of the vial and inside of the bag in a slippery, nonstick coating. It was bad enough I would have returned it, but I needed to use it promptly and could not wait. Since I only received half as much paint usable paint as I should have due to poor packaging, I don't think it is a good value.Without the leak, I would give it 4 stars.If I'd

Not even worth opening; liquid was all over the inside of the baggie it was packaged in. Leaked or something. No idea if it even works. Expensive for 3ml.

I am not sure to what extent yet but this tends to keep the nozzle cleaner with PETG. I had been having some issues and after applying two coats of this, the build-up is almost eliminated.
