PRINTING WITH ABS FILAMENTS
After extruded from the nozzle, ABS filaments can stick well to warm and clean print
tapes. Both PET and Kapton tapes can be used for this purpose. Included in the
Artifex 2 3D printer package are 10 pieces of die-cut Kapton tape sheets. These Kapton
sheets have the same size as the glass top of 250x320mm, and are thick (0.08mm, or
3mil) and sturdy. For easy installation, these sheets come with easy-release liners.
(a) Place the glass plate on a flat table surface.
(b) Clean the glass surface with Windex or rubbing alcohol before applying the tape.
(c) Spray a thin layer of Windex onto the glass.
(d) Take one piece of Kapton tape sheet, and pear off the liner on the back.
(e) Place the Kapton sheet onto the glass top, and use the squeegee provided in the
printer package to remove bubbles between the glass and the Kapton sheet.

Installing glass plate
(a) Carefully place the tape covered glass plate back to the build platform on the top
of aluminum heat spreader.
(b) Slide printed HBP corners inward to secure the glass plate into the slots of HBP
corners.
(c) Tight up the thumb screws under the four HBP corners to hold them in place.
4.
Cleaning print surface
A clean surface is very important for the print to stick well
to the print tape. Clean the Kapton sheet using 91% rubbing alcohol (Figure 2.43)
with a piece of paper towel.
