Gizmo Dorks 3D Printer Build Plate Kapton Tape or PET Tape 9" x 100'Kapton Tape
The Gizmo Dorks Kapton tape for 3D printers is an excellent unmatched print surface! This tape works with many different 3D printing bed platforms. The beauty of Kapton tape is the ability of the polyimide film to withstand temperature. Therefore, many 3D printer users love applying this polyimide Kapton tape on 3D printers with heated build platforms. The plastic filament will have full adhesion to the polyimide film at the designated temperature, but it also has self releasing characteristics as the bed cools. Your print will be easy to pop off. Kapton tape is the practical choice for your 3D printer bed.

PET Tape
Gizmo Dorks PET tape is the highest quality Polyester film available on the market. Polyester PET tape is used for 3D printing where a heated build platform is required. Most consumers use it for printing with ABS or HIPS, but PET tape can also be used for PLA or other exotic 3D filaments. When printing with ABS, sometimes ABS filament does not adhere well to the build platform. Adding Polyester PET tape eliminates this problem by providing a smooth, flat, and clean surface to print on. The best part is that the Polyester tape can be reused many times. ABS filament needs to be printed on a heated build plate, and PET tape transfers heat exceptionally well. Some users say that PET Polyester film is a better alternative because it has better adherence to ABS and lasts longer than Kapton.

Applying the Tape
There are two methods to apply the tape. The first is called the dry method, which involves using a flat edge such as a ruler or a credit card. Slowly peel and apply the tape while using the straight edge to keep the tape free from bubbles.
The second method, the wet method, is similar to the dry method but involves spraying some soapy water underneath the PET tape. Remove the liquid by squeegee or a straight flat edge such as a ruler. This will also remove any air bubbles. The biggest benefit to the wet method is that you can re-position the tape while it is wet because the liquid allows you to easily slide the tape around. Let the PET tape fully dry before printing.
