Review on πŸ”₯ ZUPAYIPA Silicone Thermal Pad: 400mm x 210mm x 0.5mm for CPU GPU Heatsink - Heat Dissipation Solution by Jim Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with my 220mm x 220mm x 3mm borosilicate glass platen on my Wanhao D6 3D printer.

Works great with my 220mm x 220mm x 3mm borosilicate glass plate. There is no need to use clamps as the pad has enough friction to prevent the glass platen from moving during printing. I heated the board to about 90 degrees, removed the previous adhesive board and rubbed the bare metal clean, carefully installing the thermoplastic. Pillow and place a glass plate on top. It also took me a few seconds to try and get rid of any bubbles that popped up by gently pressing on those glass spots. There were like some pretty big bubbles that I couldn't get rid of. Not a big deal as the thermal pad transfers enough heat to the glass plate/blue tape to stick the ABS filament I used. All in all it was a good buy. I'm glad I read the comments before purchasing. As soon as I read someone mentioning that they don't use clamps when using this thermal pad, I was convinced. Also of note is that the thermal pad is slightly smaller than a metal heating pad, which was fine with me since I don't usually print. anyway on these outer edges. Edit: May 23rd '19 - After a few days of use my glass back started to move and distorted the print so I ended up having to use clamps. I'm removing stars from my original 5 stars. So overall 4/5 stars. However, the thermal pad transfers heat well from the heated bed to my glass top.

Pros
  • Brilliantly Made
Cons
