it always tries to stick and tear where we don't want it to. The press bed is about 24" long

WOW! I imagine cut 18 inch wide tape can be challenging. How do you guys prevent it from stick to itself?

I may read this wrong, but the link point to 8 inch wide tape, which is better, it will fit the most popular 200mmX200mm bed size printer and the price is very good.

you don't have to use glue stick on blue painters tape. you can use glue stick on the glass bed that come with jr. It generate much smoother finish on bottom face of the print.

Da vinci miniMaker came with alumium print bed and it makes more sense to use masking tape. change it about every five print is a good idea. if still have trouble for bed adhersion, double check bed leveling and lower the nozzle by adjust z-offset so that nozzle is closer to bed.

I've recently run out of the bed tape on my Jr. 1.0. I picked up some 2" general purpose masking tape at a local hardware store for a few dollars. I use 4 horizontal stripes and typically only need to replace the center 2 strips every 3-4 print jobs. I use a couple of glue stick strips on each print job to aid bed adhesion.

Sorry to hear that !!

Seriously have no idea what comes with that printer as I would not own one. That said:

There are many product available to aid bed adhesion.

Blue painters tape available at any home improvement store or home center.

Geckoteck sheets about $ 15 each in the 200 x 200 size.

Build tack is a bit cheaper about $6 each in lots of 5

And you can always use window glass and aquanet hair spray.

We are new to 3d Printing Have a DaVinci Mini. We are out of the tape that came with the printer. Where do you buy the new? are there other materials that work better? Thank you in advance!
