Ich habe die Matte zusammen mit einer Glasplatte gekauft. Diese Matte leitet die Wärme gut und ich habe sie zwischen Heizbett und Glasplatte gelegt. Vorteil: Ich brauche die Klammern nicht mehr und kann den Druckbereich voll nutzen. Vorsichtig beim Verarbeiten: reißt schnell.

Bought this to put on the bed of my 3D printer to help hold a glass plate in place and help with heat transfer to the glass. I planned on covering the whole bed (220mm x 220mm) to maximize heat transfer since only using a few smaller squares would not have much surface area in contact with the heated bed. The 0.5mm thickness made it very difficult to get this material to lay flat and not get bubbles under it. I held it vertically from the top corners and tried to slowly lay it down across the bed in a slow, even motion to minimize the bubbles trapped under it. That initially looked OK, but after a minute or so there were many little high spots that showed up due to air trapped under the pad. The pad also stretched quite a bit under its own weight, so the last edge to lay down was quite stretched and out of shape. So, next I tried using a little soapy water on the bed, placing the pad on top and squeegy-ing out the air bubbles. This works well with decals, but not so well with this stuff. The pad is quite soft and I could get the bubbles to move towards the edge but then the pad would bunch up and stretch. In one case my finger put a hole in the pad when it bunched up. Using some soapy water on top of the pad helped with this but didn't eliminate the problem. I spent over an hour trying to get the pad to lay nice and flat on the bed without total success.After all of this I thought I would try the printer with this pad on the bed anyway. The material is thin and I thought the glass on top would even out any small imperfections that were still there. I found that wasn't really the case. The glass only stuck to about 30-40% of the surface area of the pad and the first layers of the print showed there were high and low spots. When it came time to remove the glass it was very stuck to the pad and the pad partially peeled off the heated bed. I decided not to fight with it any more and just removed the pad altogether. I have plenty left over and may try again with just some smaller squares in the corners.The concept of using the silicone thermal pad on my printer bed still sounds appealing to me. I think a thicker material would be easier to get to lay flat without bubbles under it but at the expense of some heat transfer. As others have mentioned this material will hold your glass bed without the need for clips, but if you cover the whole bed it will probably peel off when you try to remove the glass.

I cut mine in half and laid both layers on my print bed, since the heads of the leveling screws stick up higher than a single layer. As some have mentioned, it's a little bit of a challenge to get this to lay flat without bubbles, but after 15 minutes or so I was able to get it acceptably bubble-free. Be gentle, because the silicone is thin, very stretchy, and easy to rip if you're not careful. The glass laid well on top without any issues with bubbles, and the IR thermometer says that the heat is being transferred much better than before, and quite evenly. A suggestion for those with Wanhao i3/Monoprice Select Plus or similar printers - make the necessary mods to go from 4-point leveling to 3-point, and notch the silicone if necessary to keep it from laying on any of the leveling screws. You'll have a much flatter bed that's MUCH easier to tram/level.

I have a different use for this product than what it is meant for. I am using it to stick a glass plate to my 3d printer's hot bed. This way I don't have to worry about the tool head colliding with clips or having to put tape down. the product is not sticky, it just has a lot of surface area which gives it an insane amount friction. The glass plate is hard to remove.this product has no residue either.

Cumple completamente mis espectativas. venía sin daño alguno, simplemente plegado en 3 partes, pero al ser flexible al utilizarlo se puede dejar perfectamente liso.Usado para disipar un panel solar fotovoltaico unido a un disipador de aluminio (donde vivo se estropean los paneles por excesivo calor)No es conductivo.Muy buena relación calidad/precio respecto al resto.

Ho acquistato questo foglio in silicone per fare aderire un piano di vetro al piatto riscaldato di una stampante 3D: le dimensioni sono sufficientemente grandi e lo spessore è solo 0,5 mm (che in questo caso è un vantaggio). Anche il prezzo è buono. Con questa soluzione si evita di fissare il piano di vetro con delle clip, come si fa normalmente, con il vantaggio di avere un minimo di elasticità che compensa eventuali piccole deformazioni del piatto. Non l'ho ancora provata in pratica, mi riservo di aggiornare il giudizio qualora dovessero emergere dei problemi.Chi invece ha bisogno di un foglio al silicone per applicare un dissipatore a un processore è meglio che si orienti su prodotti diversi, con spessore maggiore e più adesività.

I have been using this stuff for 3D printing for a while now. I am amazed at how well the product works. I place this on the Aluminum bed of my Flashforge creator pro and place a 5mm piece of glass on top of it. The glass does not slide around at all, in fact, this material slightly adheres it to the aluminum bed. The heat transfer is great! The only downside of this product is that it is very delicate and easily damaged, however, it is very cheap to replace and should last you for months if you are gentle with it. I plan to continue buying this product.

I've printed a few parts on this piece of glass with mixed results. After a few prints of good quality, I noticed that my bed was becoming harder and harder to level. Finally, after several attempts at re-leveling and reinstalling the glass with new adhesive I relieved all stress on the printer's aluminum bed to determine the issue. Guess what...the aluminum bed is true, the glass is warped! VERY disappointed.

This stuff is great for my 3d printer bed ,I put this down on top of my Alum bed then went to ACE hardware had them cut a peace of glass for me 9" by 9" (the size of my bed) and put it on top of the thermal pad works great .No more blue tape needed prints come right off when cooled.The thermal pad is has the prefect amount of tackiness to hold the glass to the bed.

Works great on i3 3D printer to add a glass bed for better adhesion,also tried it out on an old GTX750ti for a bit of fun over clocking. Not as viable as thermal paste. Would avoid for computational processes.

Works great if you put it in position and leave it. I wanted to use it for a 3d printer print bed, to hold glass to the metal print bed, and the Gino pad is so soft that it rips up very easily.

I had read so many bad reviews on this that I was reluctant to get it, but the price was right and I could not find it anywhere else. I used it on the bed of my Flashforge 3D printer below the glass plate that I installed. It was an excellent choice. It was easy to install (used a business card). It holds the glass plate on securely and as far as I can tell provides good thermal transfer.
