BuildTak Original 3D Printing Surface - Black

3D printing Surface

$4.00 $3.03

Our first build surface that kick-started it all for us. The BuildTak Original surface is our most versatile of the print surfaces we sell, with compatibility with the widest range of materials. If you are unsure of the materials you will be printing or plan to print a wide variety of material, the BuildTak Original surface is the best place to start. 

The BuildTak Original surface is equipped with our clean removal adhesive and will last for several prints when properly maintained. If your exact model of printers is not one of our pre-supported sizes, a larger sheet can be easily cut down with a standard pair of scissors to fit on any machine.

This product comes in matte black. The color of the print surface is purely cosmetic and will not affect performance.

Descriptions

We’ve had success with printing the following filaments on the BuildTak Original surface:

  • ABS
  • ASA
  • HIPS
  • PC *
  • PETG *
  • PLA
  • PVA
  • TPE
  • TPU

* These materials will hold aggressively to the print surface. Additional caution is needed to avoid damaging the sheet.

Application

Ensure the bare build plate is clear of any leftover residue and debris. We recommend using 70% isopropyl alcohol or higher to wipe down the surface of the plate. Do not use more aggressive solvents like acetone or ammonia-based cleaners like Windex, as this may damage the sheet. If you have purchase a sheet larger than 16 x 16 inches, we recommend spraying a layer of Rapid Tac on the build plate to help ease application if desired.

Once the build plate is clean, peel back the adhesive liner on the BuildTak Original sheet about 2 to 3 inches. If the sheet is rectangular or square, we recommend peeling from one of the corners of the sheet. Align this exposed portion of the sheet to the edge of the build plate.

Before continuing with the rest of the application, take the time to check that the rest of the sheet is lined up appropriately. If you find that the sheet is crooked, peel up the applied portion and realign. Once the sheet is aligned, slowly begin to pull back the liner and flatten the sheet as you go with the BuildTak Decal Applicator or another tool with a rounded edge. To help minimize the chances of air bubbles, always push the application tool away from the starting point.

If you notice any air bubble under the sheet after application. While the adhesive is still fresh, the sheet can be peeled back up in that area and re-flattened using the previous method to push the air bubble out. Do not peel up the sheet and re-flatten if the adhesive has been adhered to the surface for a period of time as this could causes the sheet to delaminate.

Once you are satisfied with the application, any excess overhang can be trimmed by carefully running a blade along the edge of the build plate.

Usage and Maintenance

When using the BuildTak Original surface for the first time, we recommend that users perform their initial test prints with their nozzle a bit further from the bed than typical. This allows the user to slowly adjust their nozzle offset to achieve an optimal adhesion without damaging the sheet. We highly recommend not using predetermined offsets for other build surfaces such as glass or glue stick. We find that users tend to print closer with other build surfaces to achieve adhesion than is needed with the BuildTak Original surface.

When attempting to remove a completed print or filament residue from the BuildTak Original surface. Use a tool like the BuildTak Spatula or another tool with a flat rounded edge to aid with removal. Avoid using tools with sharp edges or corners as these can catch on the sheet and cause damage to the surface.

The maximum temperature that the BuildTak Original surface can survive is 120°C. Increasing the bed temperature above this limit can cause significant degradation in the performance and lifespan of the sheet.

When cleaning the BuildTak Original surface between prints, we recommend wiping the surface with 70% isopropyl alcohol or higher. Do not use more aggressive solvents like acetone or ammonia-based cleaners like Windex, as this may damage the sheet.

Removal

To remove a worn or damaged BuildTak Original sheet from your build plate, start from a preferred edge and peel up a small portion of the sheet to serve as a holding point. Then firmly grasp or hold down your build plate and begin to slowly pull off the sheet. The adhesive layer should come off cleanly along with the sheet. However, if there is any leftover adhesive residue, it can be easily scraped off or removed using a non-aggressive adhesive cleaner like Goo Gone.
