LOKBUILD 3D PRINT BUILD SURFACE 305MM

3 wk update:Finally, got it to work right. I had to reduce first layer height to 0.1mm and jack the extrusion to 150% but now it works right! I've therefore increased my rating to 4 stars as I do feel that it's worth the money.Just be ready for some work.Really really wanted to like this. New product, looks super neat. Unfortunately it doesn't work as advertised.It is easy to stick on and take off (that's why it's not 1 star) but other than that it's horrible as a build plate. The prints simply do not adhere to it. I've tried with and without heating, I've tried leaving a small gap or a large one, PLA, ABS, nothing helped. The prints simply do not stick to it. I've resorted to putting masking tape on top of it just so I can print! Useless!I haven't given up. I'm still trying to find a setting that would work but for now I can't recommend dropping $40 on this. Simply not worth it.

After a couple months of using this I can say that it just doesn't work on anything but PLA. I can't test ABS since I don't want to fumigate my roommates but it definitely doesn't work with eSun PETG filament. I have tried glue sticks, hairspray, and masking tape and I still haven't managed to get it to work with PET. PLA works but not great. It can also loose adhesion really easily during the first layer which is especially problematic around small holes of the part that are touching the build plate due to the small fast movements. I have even tried printing all the way down to 10mm/s and no improvements are being had in this front. Overall I would not recommend this product and will be switching out to a PEI surface to hopefully be able to print in PETG.Also as a fun side note, I was able to do some tests using paper clipped to my bed as a build surface. The paper was better than this build surface in nearly every way. That's how bad this build surface is.

I had read and watched a lot of reviews about this before deciding to take the leap. When I just couldn't take the tape and hairspray regimen anymore, I jumped. And I have NOT been sorry at all. Some reveiwers say it sticks "almost TOO well". My experience is that it sticks EXACTLY the right amount. Zero curls or failed first layers since I installed this beauty on my OEM glass bed (on my CR-10). The trick is to keep your scraper at a low angle, beveled side up, and apply gentle pressure toward the center of the print while rocking the blade from the front to the back of the printer bed -- wiggling the print loose, more than popping or cutting it away from the bed. Also, MUCH easier if you let the bed cool to room temp first (which happens really quickly on my CR-10).

I had tried Build-Tak several months ago and while it would hold great...it held too much. I ripped all 3 of them when I had large objects that just would. not. come. off.I was skeptical that this new player, Lokbuild, would do any better.I was wrong.I had several small test items that stuck well and, unlike the Buildstuck sheets, once cooled they came off with only a slight suction hold. If you look at my posted picture I had a tall, thin wall, and semicircular part that usually warps. No warping...I was delighted with the performance of this bed cover.I would buy again and would recommend to a friend.

Best build surface EVER! I love this stuff! The days of printing on tape or using adhesives are OVER. Just buy your size, align to your bed and stick! PLA, PETG, TPU, and Carbon fiber + PLA have all stuck! PLA requires no bed heating with LokBuild and greatly simplifies the pre and post processes to 3D printing! Will buy again and again!Pros-Excellent build adhesionWorks with nearly all filamentsEasy to installAllows for easy bed leveling and tolerances are lighter than just glass.Cons-Difficult to remove when needing replacement.Needs to be available in more colors for cosmetic value.

Using pla adjusted the heighth starting from a higher setting to wear it didn't stick to a lower setting when it finally started to stick per instructions. Stuck very well first print came off what a little persuasion. Second print of the same item couldn't get off without tearing the mat. Matt ruin $35 down the drain

I've bought this to see if I coul print without messing with my printer with hairspray, gluestick, abs juice and other things.At first it was doing great, until I've started to print ABS. Heating the bed above 100 degrees Celsius made bubbles appear. I've contact the manufacturer, and they told me that was my fault and an application defect, even I've had applyed following the instructions carefully. Now I've decided to remove and discovered that the bubbles weren't between adhesive and bed, but between adhesive and the sheet itself. It's easy to a manufacturer point a finger to someone they don't know, instead of opening a dialog and understand what has happened. If they've told me to remove and take pictures at the time I've first contacted them and said that they would replace if the bubbles were not an application problem, I would be grateful. Let's see now what they do now. What is worse, is that I have another one and I'm worried about spending my money in garbage.

I was(and still am) having first layer issues on factory warped glass with hairspray on my CR-10 Mini. Not sure what was happening, so I decided on a Lokbuild plate. Easy application, needed some minor trimming and modifications for bed height(extra washers on the screws) for table adjustment slack due to thin material. Great adhesion but I am still getting issues with my stringy first layer. Trying different software and printer settings. Be careful when removing prints! Let them cool all the way!
