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.
- Designed with Polypropylene and OBC filaments in mind
- Significantly reduces chances of warping
- 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 Material | Additional Adhesive Recommended* |
---|---|
Polypropylene | ✔ |
OBC | ✔ |
*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.
- For success with standard filaments like ABS, PLA, PETG, and more, check out LayerLock Powder Coated PEI Build Plate.
- For success with nylon and nylon-based filaments, check out LayerLock Garolite Build Surface.
How Do You Install and Maintain LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene?
INSTALLATION
- Clean your build plate with isopropyl alcohol.
- Remove the adhesive liner on the back of the LayerLock sheet
- Attach and align the sheet onto the build plate
- Calibrate Z-height
- Level print bed
That's it! You're ready to print.
MAINTENANCE
- Apply some kind of Polypropylene Bed Adhesion Solution before printing (one application typically lasts for a couple of prints).
- If there's debris, dust, or residue on the print surface, wipe it clean with a paper towel or lint-free cloth.
- Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the towel/cloth if necessary.
ADDITIONAL TIP
Loss of Strong Bed Adhesion?
- Make sure printer is turned off.
- Pour a small pool of warm water on the build surface's print area
- Make sure no water goes near the electronics
- Remove the adhesive with a spatula until the surface is clean
- Wipe away excess water.
- Repeat steps as necessary until all leftover bed adhesion solution has been removed.

Questions
I would like to setup a print farm with multiple t10s. Will cloud sync copy files to all t10s on the same account? Is there a web dashboard to see all your currently running prints in a farm?
can you customize the work dimensions for custom built printers? also does it support auto level?
Does it work with the Monoprice Select Plus?
Ryan, thanks for the quick response! Is this firmware updater a feature that is under development or planned for the future? If so, will it be included in the firmware updates for the T10/T7X?
Does the T10 or the T7X have the ability to load the correct firmware when changing tool heads on the Lulzbot Taz6?
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. Domenick
Hi will it work with a creality cr-10
Will this work with a Fusion or 3D Platform printer? The Fusion has the original size USB port.
How do I download firmware into my TAZ 6 for my dual extruder tool head or my new MOARstruder tool head using the MatterController Touch T10?
Hi Do you support the new Ultimaker 3
Will the Mattercontrol T10 support the Prusa Research i3 MK2, Multi-Material upgrade?
Above I see that I can import gcode from other slicers. I just wanted to verify that I can import files from Simplify 3D and be able to execute and monitor my print from the Matter Control using the code generated by the other slicer. Not sure if anyone else has done this or knows of any issues from trying to do this.
Is the print monitoring with the T10 pictures only or can it stream live a web cam?
how does the T10 work with the Ultimaker 2 / 2+ with my understanding is that they only accept file through the SD card?
The app keeps disconnecting from the printer every time I print. I've not had 1 print go all the way through with this tablet. Why does this keep happening? I have the Pulse Build to Order from your site.
Can I move the MCT between printers easily? I have a Taz4 and a Prusa i3 mk2. Can I have both configured and just plug in the one I want to monitor at will?
Is the touchscreen resistive or capacitive?
How do you get to open apps / google play store once they are downloaded (for example Spark email or netflix)?
Falling tablets is big at my office, is there a hard case available / what form factor fits it?
Is there web camera function in MatterControl?
My tablet wont charge. the icon shows that it should be charging but it isn't. How do I fix this?
MatterControl Touch T10 Too Big to Render...What does this mean?
Can multiple T-10's be supported on the same network, say for a print lab in a school? Can a single T10 be used to control multiple printers?
Can the T10 use an external web cam, or does it only support the built in Camera?
If I've already got the gcode, can I use the MCT to send it to my Printrbot printer?
Is there a way to restore matter control touch to factory reset because the standard preset are out whack in terms G code start scripts. Thanks.
Lately after a print, I noticed that the build platform does not go down as it would if I printed directly at the printer w/o your device. Is there a setting that forces this to happen?
If your app crashes while I'm in the middle of printing, will my print fail or will it continue to print until it is finished? Does your app have chronic history of failures?
Does this device have the cabability of monitoring the progress of my printing and to let me know when it is completed?
Is there a mount available for the 10"? I printed the one for the 7" and unsurprisingly, it don't fit.
You say that it is compatible with the Prusa I3, But mine is a "SunHokey Prusa I3" is it still compatible?
T-10 Batttery ? The T-7 has no internal battery and must always be plugged in. Same with the T-10?
What is the current availability of this product? will you be supporting it in the future, or are you moving to a laptop based solution? Thanks!
We no longer carry this item. However, if you purchased one from us previously, we will still support it.
