The Mamorubot Polypropylene Build Plate is a 3d printer build plate to be used instead of glass, mirror beds or adhesive surfaces. ,it is a build plate offer consistent and reliable prints. Can be attached directly to your glass bed using clips or tape. How to use your new polypropylene build plate ? Note: the polypropylene build plate has different properties than a glass or mirror plate. 1) Remove old build plate 2) Make sure bed is level and flat in all directions 3) Install your new polypropylene build plate and make sure it is securely fastened to the print bed. 4) If you have a heated bed, please heat bed to normal operating temperature for 5 minutes. 5) When bed is heated, double check for flatness. 6) Perform your leveling routine. Bed may require adjustments to level due to differences in plate thickness 7) Note that some adjustment to previous bed temperature settings may be required. Make test prints to verify proper adhesion. 8) Large build plate format (510mmX510mm) may require additional adjustments to the temperature. 9) Enjoy stress free printing with your new Mamorubot build plate! Note: If you see reduction in adhesion, please clean with Isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth. Suggested Bed temperatures may vary depending on filament material. Temperature settings for different filaments: 1. PLA:50-70℃ 2. Flexible filament: 50-70℃ 3. ABS:100-125℃ ( 110℃ is recommended ) 4. PC:100-130℃ ( 120℃ is recommended ) 5. Nylon:90-120℃ ( 110℃ is recommended ) 6. PP:100-130℃ ( 120℃ is recommended ) 7. PETG: 50-70℃

Mega Adhesion!
Why I bought it:I've fallen in love with using "Tree Support Structures" but I found the very tight kinks and disconnected polygons at layer 1 were too much for my usual print bed, even with printing speed set to 5mm/s it just would not stick without hair spray.Adhesion:This thing GRIPS! Now those same tight kinks lay down and stick no problem, even at much faster print speeds.The tree structures stay glued to the bed which means less failures.I think I can even get away with considerably narrower support bases to reduce print time.The prints definitely stick to the bed as advertised and they pry loose with mild nudging after cooled.In this regard I'm super happy with it.Longevity?The surface (both sides) feels pretty finely textured, think 1000 or 2000 grit sandpaper.As long as the parts keep popping off we're good -- but if I have to scrape a part off, I'm worried it may get scratched easily. Even the instructions hint to this as they say you can sand it with sandpaper to remove scratches... But won't that lead to uneven surface?Warping?I did a topography check of the surface while cold and again while hot and it appears to be moderately different which suggest the material warps during heating and cooling -- visually I can't see it. It's possible this is temporary and it settles down as it conforms to your heated bed, we'll see. I ALWAYS do a G29 (26 point check auto bed level) before every print so I'm not too worried about a little warping but may be useful for those of you that do not have auto bed leveling.Conclusion:Worth it in my opinion.I bought it for adhesion and I got loads of it.How well the surface and warpage holds up over time will be the biggest factor in whether or not I keep it as my main print bed.UPDATE:It's been about a week of daily use, heating and cooling the bed (I usually run about 60c).I've been checking the topography of the the print bed and it's very consistent. Yes it's not perfectly flat but if you have auto-bed-leveling that's not an issue -- the more important factor is the consistency of the flatness after heating and cooling and this appears to be excellent.Also I have not really needed to scrape the bed much but when I do I see no marks, it feels very durable. I believe the longevity of this material is good. I will be buying another for my other 3D printer as well :DUPDATE #2:It's now been over 3 months of constant use (I really work my printers).Still sticks like magic. Still releases easily at 45c. No scratches on the surface.In 3 months I did hit the deck one time and it left a tiny mark, thankfully it was out of the way so no worries.I have yet to encounter a tight-kink that does not adhere to the bed.I don't even print with brims anymore.What settings do I use?- I use both Ultimaker Cura & Simplify 3D (for different scenarios).- Bed Temp: 60c from start to finish.- PLA Temp @ Initial Layer: 215c- Print Speed @ Initial Layer: 35mm/s to be safe- Fan Speed @ Initial Layer: 0%Remove at 40c - 45c or else it hard difficult. If you're not at home when it finishes, you can reheat your bed and remove, but I usually just pry it off, its not THAT hard.

Works with some, not others
Forget ABS. Just doesn't stick at all. I also couldn't get PLA+ to hold.I've tried coated glass, non coated glass, textured adhesive sheets, roll on glue, glue sticks, blue tape and hair spray.Been through it all expect PEI. I've come to the conclusion that there is no one magic bullet.This did work with PETG and PC. Which is what I bought it for. The Carbon PC didn't stick to glass well and other surfaces it stuck so hard that you can damage the surface. So for carbon PC, this is just right.I'm going back to glass and hair spray for PLA+ and ASA, ABS. But for PC, I'll switch to the Mamorubot.I also don't think it's as level as glass.

Sticks well during printing and just slides off when cool
The media could not be loaded. I've been using this bed for well over a year on a CR-10 and a CR-10S Pro. It's like magic. PLA and PETG stick like they're glued when printing but just slide off when cool (see video). I've tried all the methods including glass, magnetic release plates, MagiGoo, glue stick, hair spray, tape, even expensive liquids sent from Europe. You name it, I've tried it. Nothing works better than this printing surface. And, if you ever do wear it out, just flip it over. It's the same on both sides. You get a lot of bang for the buck on this print bed.. I highly recommend it.

Quality issues
I've ordered four different sheets from this company in different sizes and the ones bigger than this and smaller than this have amazing adhesion with PETG and PLA. For some reason this specific sheet and another one around the same size had adhesion issues. This was while using machines with the same hotend and using the same filament.I spent weeks trying to figure out if it was just user error and adjusting tons of settings (even lightly scuffing the build surface with sandpaper), but it turns out the sheets were just bad. It seems like this might be why this product has five star and one star reviews - if you get a good sheet it's amazing and works perfectly with PETG with no additional work, and if you get a bad sheet it seems to just reject PETG.

Better than Glass
A big issue is that first layer, if it sticks you are on the right path, if not you are in for a long time trying to get it to stick. I have this on other machines and works perfect! I have had glass and it chips or does not stick and I end up placing painter's tape which makes no sense to me. Once it cools... part comes right of. There are many others out there but if you want to get this one then make sure it is the same brand. I cannot talk about others that looks the same :)

Nice quality Plate
Haven't tested any prints yet, but thought this was a thin sheet of polypropylene on 3M adhesive. Im pleasantly surprised its actually a solid plate that can be clipped to the build plate without adhesive. Really nice quality I'll revisit my review once I've tested some prints

Easy to use great build plate
The media could not be loaded. Easy to use good adhesion and easy to release when cool

Didn't stick fir me.
PLA didn't stick at all for me. Tried several different heating settings...
