LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropylene increases successful additive manufacturing of low friction, print-to-production parts via its chemical makeup.
Top LayerLock for Polypropylene Features:
• Ideal for Polypropylene & OBC - Polypropylene & OBC stick very well
• Decrease Warping - Minimize warps that are notorious with this material
• Save on Resources - Save time, money, and materials lost from frequently failed prints
To easily remove polypropylene prints off your build surface, we suggest pairing bed adhesion solutions for polypropylene with our LayerLock Build Surface. Solutions by Magigoo and Smart Materials are recommended.

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.

I printed on the PP Layer Lock plate with PP CF and the build plate at 80c. This caused it to fuse. What is the recommended Bed temperature?

I bought this and adhered it to a nice spring steel build plate. It worked fine until I accidentally put it on instead of the smooth PEI plate and printed PLA+ on it. It definitely adhered well ... actually welded itself to the layerLock surface. Any ideas for how to remove the last layer of PLA+ without damaging the layerLock for PP?

what material will the adhesive best adhere to? I want to get a dedicated build plate for it.

If I stick this LayerLock PP to my glass bed and then switch from OBC to PLA or PLA+ will I have to have two different build plates? Plane glass and glass with LayerLock attached?

Materials that do not have a Polypropylene base (such as PLA) will not adhere properly to Polypropylene LayerLock. As a result, you would need to use a different surface, such as the glass plate you mentioned.
You could flip the plate over, and use the other side of the glass, but the LayerLock, now on the underside, might insulate some of the heat from the heated bed of the printer, and your PLA might not adhere as well.
So in the end, it's recommended that you get an entirely new build plate for non Polypropylene-based materials.

Would it be possible to use this on a prusa mk3 instead of the pei flex plate? like get the 11.8" x 11.8" and just trim it down to shape and set up a new plate config?

This sheet will work on the Prusa without the need to be cut down. You will need a FlexPlate to attach this surface to use with your printer.

What is the advantage of this if Magigoo is still "highly recommended"? Does Magigoo on top of LayerLock somehow work better than Magigoo on top of any other surface?

Magigoo PP is recommended as this surface is designed for PP. Using both in conjunction will yield the best results.

How does this build surface work with other filaments like PLA or ABS? Or does it work at all with other filaments?

No, mainly this is just for Polypropylene and OBC, but check out BuildTak and Powder Coated PEI for PLA and ABS.
