This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly cleaning build surfaces and applying HYPERLOK® adhesive for optimal 3D printing results.
⚠️Clean with plate removed from machine - do NOT spray cleaner inside machines! ⚠️Ensure plate is COOL - do NOT apply when HOT! ⚠️Make sure Z-Offset is properly calibrated!
50/50 Isopropyl Alcohol/Water solution
Spray bottle
Microfiber or dust-free towels
Prepare cleaning solution : Mix 50/50 Isopropyl Alcohol/H₂O solution in a spray bottleApply solution : Spray onto build plate with microfiber or dust-free towelLet soak : Allow solution to sit for 10 secondsWipe clean : Remove solution completelyRepeat process : Apply solution again and wipe with new towel or clean sideVisual inspection : Verify plate is completely clean before proceeding
Prepare applicator : Shake the refillable applicator bottle well, then remove lidPrime the tip (first use only): Press down until tip is soaked
The wide tip will require about 1/4 of the bottle
Replacement tips are available for purchase
Apply HYPERLOK® : Push tip firmly against buildplate with light pumping action while moving around print areaCreate pattern : Distribute HYPERLOK® in a THIN hatch/grid pattern until evenly appliedDrying time : Let dry for approximately 3 minutes before heating the bedPrint with confidence : Your parts will be securely adhered to the surface
If you experience adhesion problems, try these adjustments:
Lower Z-Offset by -0.02mm increments Increase bed temperature by 10°C increments Increase first layer temperature by 5°C increments For Warpy PLA Parts its advised to LOWER the Z-Offset by -0.03 to ensure a good "squish"
For bed temperatures 100°C or less:
Let parts cool fully in the build chamber before removing
For bed temperatures 120°C or more:
Let parts cool partially in the build chamber and remove while warm
If parts are sticking too well, raise Z-Offset in +0.02 Increments For ABS/ASA its advised to RAISE the Z-Offset (Start with +0.03) to avoid over-adhesion
¶ Maintenance Tips
Replace Marker Tips when worn or dirty.Buy a 2-Pack HERE!
Clean fully between coats - layering coats will NOT increase adhesion.
Each surface application will last multiple prints.
Refill applicator when fluid level reaches the "Refill soon" marking on side gauge.BUY Refill Bottle HERE!
