LAYERLOCK BUILD SURFACE FOR POLYPROPYLENE 

POLYPROPYLENE 3D PRINTING MADE EASY

LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene delivers reliable strong bed adhesion with polypropylene and OBC 3D printing materials for increased additive manufacturing success.

Key Features of LayerLock for Polypropylene: 

• Ideal for Printing Polypropylene and OBC Filaments
• Decreases Warping
• Increases number of successful prints

Designed to Succeed with Polypropylene

By maintaining a tight grip on that first layer, LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene overcomes the complications that come with semi-crystalline quality materials.

• Designed with Polypropylene and OBC filaments in mind
• Significantly reduces chances of warping
• Combining this surface with Magigoo or SmartMaterials' bed adhesion solutions is recommended

Gain Confidence With New Materials

LayerLock for Polypropylene reduces warping with these high-strength, chemical-resistant materials so you can confidently explore and succeed with more than just PLA and ABS.

• Confidently start printing with new materials like OBC and polypropylene
• Minimize difficulties from the get-go with the right bed surface
• Find relief in saving time, money, and resources due to reduced failures from warping and weak adhesion
  

Produce Sturdier FDM Printed Prototypes

Polypropylene and OBC are fantastic materials for prototyping parts that also use the same material in the final product. LayerLock for Polypropylene makes it easier to produce sturdier prints out of an advanced material capable of testing a part's true capabilities.

• Comfortably use a filament that's used in most end-use everyday products
• Produce more prototypes that have awesome qualities such as:
  • High-strength
  • Extreme resistance to fatigue
  • High chemical resistance
• Worry less about warp in printing so you can focus on designing and engineering

How Do You Install and Maintain LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene?

INSTALLATION

• Clean your build plate with isopropyl alcohol.
• Remove the adhesive liner on the back of the LayerLock sheet
• Attach and align the sheet onto the build plate
• Calibrate Z-height
• Level print bed

That's it! You're ready to print.

MAINTENANCE

• Apply some kind of Polypropylene Bed Adhesion Solution before printing (one application typically lasts for a couple of prints).
• If there's debris, dust, or residue on the print surface, wipe it clean with a paper towel or lint-free cloth.
  • Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the towel/cloth if necessary.

ADDITIONAL TIP

Loss of Strong Bed Adhesion?

• Make sure printer is turned off.
• Pour a small pool of warm water on the build surface's print area
  • Make sure no water goes near the electronics
• Remove the adhesive with a spatula until the surface is clean
• Wipe away excess water.
• Repeat steps as necessary until all leftover bed adhesion solution has been removed.
