50mm x 33M Kapton Tape

Kapton tape is a polyimide adhesive tape that is used an alternative material to cover print beds. Contrary to masking tape however, Kapton tape has been specifically designed to withstand high temperatures (up to 400°C).

Kapton tape is used to improve 3D print adhesion and to prevent warping but mostly in combination with ABS filament. When printing with PLA, it is cheaper to stick with masking tape as a roll of Kapton is about twice as expensive.

Due to its heat-resistant properties Kapton tape is also commonly used to secure 3D printer components in the area of the hot end. I always keep a roll at hand, be it for ABS prints or for attaching something to the heated print bed or hot end.
