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.
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
What Materials are Compatible with LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene?
*Compatible filaments stick to this surface so well that it's recommended to apply an additional adhesive to make print removal easier. See recommended Bed Adhesion Solutions via the Add-Ons when adding to cart.
*This is compatibility in terms of size. It is up to the user to confirm that their printer has the necessary magnetic base to properly use this build plate.
**These sheets can be cut down to size. Please use caution when using tools such as art knives and utility knives. You may need to the blade over the cut a few times before successfully cutting through the sheet and adhesive.

@Quadcells No, not if you set the z-offset correctly.

Is there a reason why three are shipped vs five on the (BuildTak) site.

Is there a protective layer on both sides of the pei sheet? Or is the only thing that needs to be removed on the printing side the sticker that says "remove before printing"?

Completely useless in the whatever units you are using. What is it in metric?

Do you still need to use something like ABS juice when printing ABS with this, or is this sheet enough to get good bed adhesion?

Acetone may be a bit harsh for PEI and overtime and may degrade the surface.
Gluestick applied to a cold bed at first and warming it up may be the best in this instance.

So i bought the BuildTak 3D Printer PEI Build Surface 9" x 10" (Pack of 3). I didn't know that it wasn't a plate. My question is would you advise i put the surface on my current build teck plate or buy a new plate to put these surfaces on. ( will the new surface destroy the build tech surface that comes on the plate originally? )

If you have a FlexPlate, you are able to flip the FlexPlate over and adhere a sheet to the side that does not have a build surface. Otherwise, we recommend getting a new plate to preserve your current BuildTak.
