How it works

Grips when hot.
Releases when cool.

EZ-Stik isn't magic — it's a three-layer polymer film with a coating chemistry tuned to the exact temperature window of FDM 3D printing.

The film

Three layers, working together.

The top coating handles adhesion. The polymer core gives the film its thermal stability and mechanical strength. The pressure-sensitive backing keeps it flat against your bed.

The trick is in how the top coating changes properties with temperature — bonding aggressively at print temp, then losing grip as the film cools.

LAYER 01
Advanced Coating

Proprietary surface chemistry. Grips your print like a vice at print temperature, then loses adhesion as it cools.

~20 µm
LAYER 02
Polymer Film Core

High-temperature polymer base. Stable at 230 °C+, thin enough to trim with household scissors.

~100 µm
LAYER 03
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive

Peel-and-stick backing. Applies bubble-free to glass, aluminum, and textured steel beds.

~30 µm
Reference

Temperature settings, by filament.

Field-tested settings from a decade of customer reports. Treat these as starting points; tune to your filament and printer.

Installation

From sealed package to first print in five minutes.

  1. 01
    Wipe your bed.

    Isopropyl alcohol. Clean cloth. Let it dry.

  2. 02
    Trim to size.

    Measure your build plate. Cut the EZ-Stik with household scissors.

  3. 03
    Peel and apply.

    Peel the backing in one piece. Lay the film flat. Smooth from the center out — bubbles push easily to the edges.

  4. 04
    Print.

    Use our recommended temps. Wait for the bed to cool before removing parts. Wipe with IPA every 5–10 prints.
