Product Detail and Information: BuildTak is a thin, durable plastic sheet that adheres to the print bed of FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers to provide an ideal surface for 3D printing. It replaces the need for blue masking tape and/or polyimide films such as Kapton. Composed of high quality, heat-resistant raw materials, BuildTak provides
Product Detail and Information:
BuildTak Offers The Following Benefits:
• Works great with ABS, PLA and more without the need to change the surface. And no more pretreatments such as hairspray or acetone slurry!
• Easy installation to the bare print bed and clean removal without adhesive residue.
• Durable and with optimal care can last for many hours of use while providing extended protection to the original print bed surface.
• Creates an optimal bond between the 3D printed object and the build surface for the duration of the print while preventing curling. When builds are complete, the 3D printed object can be cleanly removed with minimal prying or scraping.
• Works with ABS, PLA, HIPS, PET+, Brick, Wood & Flexible (TPE) filaments; additionally we have had success with getting nylon and t-glase (PETT) to adhere when used with a thin layer of washable glue stick on the BuildTak surface
• Installs much easier than masking tape or films typically used and with fewer chances of air bubbles
• Protects build plate
• Heat resistant and durable, can be reused for many consecutive builds and you can use different filament materials without the need to change the printing surface
• Creates an optimal bond between the 3D printed object and build surface that maximizes the chances your object will be held in place for the duration of the print and then allow for clean and easy removal of the object from the build surface.

Thought this was a good idea to get however I have had real trouble … Thought this was a good idea to get however I have had real trouble getting it to stick, so I did a test and printed the same gcode for a cube with the same settings etc and the using tape won, so would I recommend this…. No I’m afraid I wouldn’t
Get sone of this Awesome, holds ABS very well, stops warping on the bed, works like a dream, super easy to apply, if you own a 3d printer you need to own this stuff
Is it worth the cost? I thought I’d try out BuildTak to see if this was an all-round solution rather than faffing about with glass + glue. It required “dialling” in the get the best and ABS prints seem to stick – too strongly actually. Reading the guides there is advice to buy more than one as there is a risk of destroying the first piece while setting up. I came close to doing this on my first print and had a tough time removing the print. Forget any warranty.
