13. APPLYING A NEW LAYER OF PROTECTIVE 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 levelling or removing the printed models. Reapplying a new
Kapton sheet is essential to maximize print qualities if the old one has issues/
damages. To reapply a new Kapton sheet, take the build plate out of the machine and
remove the old sheet by striping 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 use later) from
the new Kapton sheet. in order to get to the sticky side. Apply some window cleaning
liquid onto the plate and the sticky side of the sheet to help you to correctly the
position the sheet on the build plate. Align the Kapton to the front side of the plate
(the edge closest to the screws) on the corner. Once the positioning is correct,
squeeze out the access liquid from between the plate and the sheet with a thin but
solid object, like a used credit card. Place the protective sheet (which was removed in
the beginning) on top the new Kapton to prevent scratches and damages during this
process.
Start from the centre 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.
