LokBuild 3D Print Surface

GUIDES FOR INSTALLATION AND CLEANING

Installing LokBuild onto your print bed

• Wipe the build platform to make sure it is clean
• Trim LokBuild to match the shape and size of your build plate. This can be done easily with general household scissors or a craft knife
• Remove the adhesive backing and apply LokBuild to the build plate. Start from one side and work your way to the other side, smoothing the LokBuild as you progress
• Adjust the printer nozzle height and check that the build surface is level

Nozzle height calibration

LokBuild is more forgiving than some other products e.g. kapton tape when setting the nozzle height. However there will be an optimal nozzle height for your chosen material and printer.

LokBuild recommmend starting further away from the bed than with other surfaces and then reduce the nozzle height slightly until the print sticks to LokBuild. The vast number of printers and materials makes it impossible to give exact print parameters but a good starting point for the nozzle height would be between 0.20mm and 0.25mm. LokBuild performs better without squashing the filament too much on the first layer.

How to clean LokBuild

LokBuild should not need to be cleaned very often but if required, it is recommended to use alcohol wipes or similar. Do not use acetone as this will damage the surface.
