Thanks to Drew Petitclerc from the Up Forum for the picture of his machine with
Kapton tape.
Method 5 – Glass: If printing only with PLA, many users report good results printing
straight onto a sheet of glass. The sheet of glass (14omm x 165mm) is attached to a
longer version of the aluminium platform (also 140mm x 165mm) with bulldog clips.
Forum user Drew Petitclerc uses a piece of glass with Kapton tape on one side. That
way he simply flips the glass platform around depending on whether he is printing
ABS or PLA.
TIP: Whatever platform preparation method you use, the 2 factors that most influence
warpage on large prints are ensuring that the platform is well leveled, and well
pre-heated.
