Thanks for the tips on doing this. Looks a lot easier when you do it. :-) I had to cover a large plate with 4" wide polypropylene tape and what a fun time that was. I'll try the glass cleaner next time and hopefully it'll work the same.
You reapply any time it gets messed up, which is often. Best to use on the glass, as it sticks really well, may not stick to your actual bed, but wouldn't hurt.
Not really since it doesn't stretch til very high temperatures, unlike regular vinyl wrap. The water helps a lot because you can squeeze out the bubbles :)
@@WaschyNumber1 I don't think drinking isopropyl alcohol will make your print problems go away, and is in fact quite hazardous. In turn, applying india pale ale to the print bed... i think carbohydrates will serve as release agent, so it's unlikely to work, but it's safe to try.
What I don't understand, is how the water/windex under the tape ever manages to get out; or is it that there will always that layer between the tape and the water?
So painful to watch. Is like you have 2 left hands... and there are two of you there. I do it solo, and takes about 1 minute. Also, don't use that tool, use a tools for aplying stickers on the winshield, if you don't have that use a credit card to get the bubbles and water out. The best practice is to use a little kapton tape also. You waste so much of it. But this is just my oppinion. Excuse my poor use of english language!
No problem! Not actually sure of the context of your comment, but are you saying you want to see it with a print on it? Looks just like any other surface.... we don't sell it, but it can be found on Amazon or other 3D printing shops :)
you guys might benefit from a day trip to a place that does vinyl wrap and window tint. same tools, same concept. there's a trick to it.

hahaha yeah it's a great time, lol!! Glad we could help!
Thanks for you share 3D print.
get a window tint applicatio kit ....also soap and water for application might help
Try flipping tape over on the table get it flat and place glass on top.
GENIUS!! That's a great idea!
How often do you have to reapply and would it be worth applying directly to my bed without the glass top

Would a heat gun not help with the bubbles like by this vinyl foils it does?

@@VisionMiner would ipa help too? 🤔

@@SianaGearz no one is taking about drinking, I think you maybe have a drinking problem 🤔

The water all comes out when it warms up :)
Will it work with petg?
I believe so! Our adhesive definitely does work with PETG, as well.
i came fgrom blue tape but why dont u use ragle guys ? :) blue windex better btw like theese applications, now i go for ur pei vid
What is Ragle? :)
@@plazmax Hah! Nice! Yes, that would definitely come in handy! :D
Nail palmer.
Nanopolymer.
Try popping the bubbles with a sharp exacto and pushing air out
My six-year-old grandson can apply Kapton tape. These guys are inept.
Super Waste of an expensive tape.
when a $30 roll of kapton saves your $80 ceramic glass bed... not a waste :)
@@VisionMiner Absolutely a waste. You could have used half the tape with the same effect.

Thanks for not showing it in/on a print.
