‘P-surface 141’ is a rubber-like sheet which can be used in 3D printing over a long period of time. ‘P-surface 141’ adheres well to smooth surfaces such as a printing bed made of glass. If the printer has not a smooth surface, the use of the ‘P-adhesive 220’ film is recommended. ‘P-surface 141’ provides a perfect surface for 3D printing with PP-based filaments . When applying ‘P-surface 141’ make sure that the logo is visible so that the correct surface is used for printing. ‘P-surface 141’ does not require any pre-treatment or additional surface adhesives We recommend to start 3D printing with a printing bed temperature of 80°C for the first layer and to let it cool down to room temperature afterwards. This is because at low temperatures the adhesion of the printed object to ‘P-surface 141’ becomes even stronger. After completion of the print, it is best to heat the printer bed to 100-110°C, wait about 20 minutes for the temperature to reach the print object, and then remove the print object by slightly tilting and lifting it.
‘P-surface 141’ is a very high quality, heat resistant printing surface in combination with the extrusion based 3D printing of PP based filaments has been applied for a patent. This combination has been developed to withstand the typical temperatures of heated printing beds (max. 110 – 125°C) for extrusion-based 3D printing and to ensure optimum adhesion of parts during printing. Due to the optimized nature of ‘P-surface 141’, the parts adhere perfectly to the surface and warpage is minimized. The removal of the printed parts from the print bed surface is best achieved at an elevated print bed temperature of approx. 100 °C.
‘P-surface 141‘ offers following advantages for extrusion-based 3D printing
- works excellently in combination with PP-based filaments.
- can also be used with PLA, ABS, PETG, PA12 and other filaments.
- does not require any pre-treatment (such as the application of suspensions or hairspray).
- can be easily installed on smooth surfaces such as glass without the use of additional adhesives.
- can be fixed on almost all printer beds of other 3D printers with the help of ‘P-adhesive 220’.
- is very durable with optimal use and care.
- offers optimum adhesion between the printed part and the print bed surface. The adhesion to the printed part decreases above 90 °C. Therefore Therefore, firmly adhering printed parts can be easier removed about 100 °C.
