Gizmo Dorks Kapton Tape (Polyimide) for 3D Printers and Printing, 6.25 x 6.25 inches, 10 Sheets per Pack

Description

Kapton tape is the perfect accessory to cover your build platform all through a 3D print. Kapton tape is made from a thin layer, 1 mil thick, of Polyimide film. The tape also has a 1 mil thick layer of silicone adhesive. Kapton tape is widely used on account of it’s ability to resist the heating and cooling of a build platform. Certain plastics such as ABS filament adhere particularly well to Kapton tape making it perfect to use when a heated build platform is required. ABS filament will have full adhesion to the Kapton tape at the high build plate temperature required, but it is going to also release the printed part when the bed cools. The print will be easy to peel or pop right off making Kapton tape the practical choice for any 3D printer build plate.

• Dimensions: 6.25 inches wide by 6.25 inches wide
• 1 mil thick Kapton layer
• 1 mil thick silicone adhesive layer
• 2 mil total thickness
• Comes in a pack of 10 sheets
• Each sheet comes on a removable protective liner

Dry Application
The dry method involves the usage of a flat edge such as a ruler or a credit card to slowly peel and apply the tape even as the usage of the straight edge to keep the tape free from bubbles.

Wet Application
The wet method is very similar to the dry method but involves spraying some soapy water underneath the Kapton tape. Remove the liquid by squeegee or a straight flat edge such as a ruler. This will also remove any air bubbles. The biggest benefit to the wet method is that you’ll be able to re-position the tape even as it is wet because the liquid permits you to easily slide the tape around. Let the Kapton tape fully dry before printing.
