7.12. Applying a new Kapton sheet
to your build plate
Build plate Kapton sheets get worn out in time or can
be damaged by the nozzle due to incorrect leveling or
removing the printed models. Reapplying a new Kapton
sheet is essential to maximize print qualities if the old
one has issues or damage. To reapply a new Kapton
sheet, take the build plate out of the unit and remove
the old sheet by stripping it off of the flexible metal plate.
Clean the surface of the plate with acetone.
Remove the protective plastic backing sheet (keep this
safe for later use) from the new Kapton sheet in order to
get to the sticky side. Apply some window cleaning liquid
onto the plate and to the sticky side of the sheet to help
you position the sheet on the build plate correctly. Align
the Kapton to the front side of the laser marked grid.
Once the positioning is correct, squeeze out the excess
liquid from between the plate and the sheet with a thin
but solid object, like a used credit card. Before you do so,
place the protective sheet (which was removed in the
beginning) on top the new Kapton to prevent scratches
and damage during this process.
Start from the center of the plate and move horizontally
and vertically. Once all the liquid has been squeezed
out and the sheet is applied properly, put the plate
somewhere to dry. Allow the sticky part to rest for a day
before using.
