If I print in some PLA's or ABS they literally are stuck like glue to the platform for few mins while it cools down. If you try and rip them off, you can de-level your printbed, and have to level all over again.
Those thumb screws underneath, you only need to remove pressure on one of them for the bolt to literally unscrew itself, bit by bit it slowly will make the level off, and man do I hate levelling my build plate...
I bought it direct from ff3dp.com
it cost around $17 from memory. Its the perfect size and you just cut the length to the hotbed length and keep the rest on the roll.
Remember putting contact on your books back in school? same deal but alot harder because you can't bend the hotplate to assist in removing bubbles,so when you put new tape on, like a phone protective screen you need to nudge it with a card or something to make sure there are no bubbles - there must be no bubbles or wrinkles obviously, or it will affect the print.
First time? it took me 4 goes hahaha and I wasted 80cm of the roll, but its a 3 meter roll, so plenty left for that price.
