Best material to use between Heat plate and Aluminum Build plate

[adrianq]

Hello all,

My heat plate finally gave up the ghost. Luckily I had a spare and can easily replace it. However, when swapping them I noticed Kapton tape on the underside of the Aluminum build plate (between the heat plate and build plate).

Is there a better material that I can use that would be as long lasting? Silicone pads sound good to avoid the mess of Thermal paste.

ppppppppppppppppppp - PEI
ssssssssssssssssssssss - Silcone Pad
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb - Aluminum Build plate (5mm MagHold)
ssssssssssssssssssssss - Silcone Pad (Currently this is Kapton tape)
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - Heat plate (Standard CTC black heat plate)


Or would that be too much?

Thanks in advance.
