I'm going to compile a list of sources for Kapton tape, for when you need to replace the tape that comes stock from the Solidoodle factory.
Feel free to add any others you find.
Solidoodle Shop - Pre-cut Kapton Square - From the manufacturer, may not be the lowest price, but cut to fit!
Makerbot Kapton Tape - Comes in rolls and die cut squares, USA
MCMaster - Large Sheets, USA
KaptonTapeOnline - Good selection, USA
The Masking Shop - Good selection, EU
Solidoodle now offers replacement Kapton squares in the store. Check it out at http://store.solidoodle.com/index.php?r … mp;path=63
Excellent! Added to first post.
"A 0.2mm Kapton square for your Solidoodle 3D printer. This square is slightly thicker than the 1mm square that came installed in your printer. Comes pre cut into a conveniant square for easy instalation."
.2mm is not thicker than 1mm....
Heh, looks like a type-o...
@supporttech
I want to add 3 extra kapton squares to my order without having to pay $34 international shipping in order to checkout of the store.
How can I pay just the $30 for the sqaures and someone there make note that my specific order should have the 3 extra squares in it when its eventually shipped?

E-mail me and we will set something up. We are working on changing the store so that orders are easier to alter.
Its all been organised.
I payed $30 into Sam's paypal on the 21/8
My order is #2284
Maybe double check its all still ok. My printer should ship in the next few weeks.
I can imagine with how busy you guys are, there is a good chance I will get the printer sans extra squares.
Thanks
I noticed earlier 3dprintergear in australia have a 33m roll of 140mm tape for $40
not quite the ideal 150mm (i assume) but pretty good nonetheless.

i bought a roll of 80mm wide off ebay for $22 from hong kong
i had a practice at applying to my pieces of glass im going to use as my printer bed. Its quite easy when its in front of you and not inside a small machine.
Only problem I have is i think its thin tape. Im pretty sure the tape solidoodle supply is thicker than standard kapton.
I can see the tape ive got would tear quite easily.

Any chance we could get some pictures of your prints on glass? This would be great material for the official wiki.
I did a blog post about it - http://solidoodletips.wordpress.com/201 … t-surface/

Hi,
please add this source for Kapton Tape:
mueller-ahlhorn.com/en/products-materials/material/adhesive-tapes/polyimide-tapes/
The good thing is, that you can get various thicknesses and also cut to size shapes and tapes
Hi,
I got a replacement-square delivered with my printer.
However, it does not seem to be any adhesive on it?
Can I expect the "glue" to remain on the platform when removing the old sheet?
How do I get about of replacing this?

It works like a sticker. You sure you've pulled the back off?
Grainger sells the Kapton Tape and Film. www.grainger.com
I got a bunch for cheap at aliexpress.com back when I was doing BGA rework.
Another source for kapton tape. We are manufacturers of silicone PSA tape from China. The commercial name of this kind of tape is kapton which is the trademark of Dupont company.
Another source for polyimide tape

You guys are going to awaken polymide tape again, be careful... haha
I added the initial list of kapton tape sources to the Soliwiki at http://www.soliwiki.com/Kapton_tape. I hope it's okay. Maybe someone else want's to expand on my stub.
Here's 100 ft of 6" Kapton tape on ebay! Looks like I can't post links yet but if you do a google search for 150mm kapton tape it's one of the first links.
