LAYERLOCK BUILD SURFACE FOR POLYPROPYLENE
POLYPROPYLENE 3D PRINTING MADE EASY
LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene delivers reliable strong bed adhesion with polypropylene and OBC 3D printing materials for increased additive manufacturing success.
Key Features of LayerLock for Polypropylene:
Ideal for Printing Polypropylene and OBC Filaments
Decreases Warping
Increases number of successful prints
Designed to Succeed with Polypropylene
By maintaining a tight grip on that first layer, LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene overcomes the complications that come with semi-crystalline quality materials.
Combining this surface with Magigoo or SmartMaterials' bed adhesion solutions is recommended
Gain Confidence With New Materials
LayerLock for Polypropylene reduces warping with these high-strength, chemical-resistant materials so you can confidently explore and succeed with more than just PLA and ABS.
Confidently start printing with new materials like OBC and polypropylene
Minimize difficulties from the get-go with the right bed surface
Find relief in saving time, money, and resources due to reduced failures from warping and weak adhesion
Produce Sturdier FDM Printed Prototypes
Polypropylene and OBC are fantastic materials for prototyping parts that also use the same material in the final product. LayerLock for Polypropylene makes it easier to produce sturdier prints out of an advanced material capable of testing a part's true capabilities.
Comfortably use a filament that's used in most end-use everyday products
Produce more prototypes that have awesome qualities such as:
High-strength
Extreme resistance to fatigue
High chemical resistance
Worry less about warp in printing so you can focus on designing and engineering
What Materials are Compatible with LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene?
*Compatible filaments stick to this surface so well that it's recommended to apply an additional adhesive to make print removal easier. See recommended Bed Adhesion Solutions via the Add-Ons when adding to cart.
*This is compatibility in terms of size. It is up to the user to confirm that their printer has the necessary magnetic base to properly use this build plate.
**These sheets can be cut down to size. Please use caution when using tools such as art knives and utility knives. You may need to the blade over the cut a few times before successfully cutting through the sheet and adhesive.

Hi there. I have two Delta printers, one is a Kossel Clear by Blue Eagle Labs, the other is the called the Flux Delta. I know they are not on the compatible list and I know I can generate the G-code in S3D to send through the T10. The question I have is what do I need to know about the printers to be sure that I can use the T10 and Matter Control software?
Thanks in advance for an answer.

It comes down to firmware. The 3D Platform printers website recommends using software that is known to be compatible with MatterControl, so they will work.
Which Fusion printer? Jet Fusion from HP? Those are not compatible since they use a proprietary firmware.

Yes, though to be clear it's not a monitor but a controller, so you would have to have it plugged in to the printer you want for the duration of the print. Between prints, though, yes, it is very easy to move between printers.

You don't need to factory reset the tablet to fix this problem; just clear the app data.
From the top right of the screen, swipe down twice then click 'Settings'. Navigate to 'Apps' -> MatterControl and click 'Clear data'. Do not uninstall the app.

If MatterControl crashes during printing, the print fails. We're working on a feature that will allow the user to restart a failed print, but that is a couple of months away at least.

Yes! The MatterControl T10 has a couple of ways to monitor progress and a couple of ways to send alerts when the print is complete.
The device itself has a progress bar that shows during printing, and MatterControl Cloud Sync has a web interface that shows all connected devices and their status including printing progress (if applicable).
Alerts can be in the form of SMS text message or email and can include a picture of the finished print so long as the on-board camera is pointed at the print bed.
