7. If there are still bubbles under the Kapton
tape, lift the edge of the tape that is nearest
to the bubbles and use the tape applicator
to smooth the tape from the center out.
8. When the Kapton tape is applied as
smoothly as possible, trim the edges of
the sheet or fold them over the sides of
the build plate.

After approximately 50 hours of build time,
you should lubricate the threaded rod on your
Z-axis and the X-axis idler pulley.
To lubricate the threaded rod and the idler pulley:
1. Find the tube of PTFE-based grease
included in the package with your the
MakerBot Replicator 2X. If you have used up
this tube of grease, PTFE-based grease is
available from many online retailers.
2. Grasp both sides of the build platform
and push it gently to the bottom of the
MakerBot Replicator 2X.
3. Use a clean, lint-free rag [or your finger]
to spread the PTFE-based grease onto as
much of the threaded rod as you can reach.
Make sure you get the grease inside the
threads themselves. [Fig. 2.5]
