in answer on your question no they are not. A fuser unit of a laser printer is around 180 degrees so self-adhesive would give a big mess i think.satoer wrote:Are these sheets self-adhesive?

thanks kjetilei i secure the edges with kapton tape did not found another solution yet.Kjetilei wrote:processware: Welcome to the forumsHow do you secure the transparency film to the hot bed?
I believe 20cm wide Kapton tape applied with soap water and using a Vinyl film applicator/plastic scraper would be a good solution.
I used soap water on my 5cm wide Kapton tape when I assembled my Felix and only ended up with some minor bubbles due to having to realign the tape several times (should not be a problem with 20cm wide tape) and no scraper available to force out the air bubbles.
Vinyl film applicators/plastic scrapers are available cheaply on Ebay or you could use a credit card or similar.
Crazy idea department for Kapton alternatives:
- Matte iPad screen protector
- Matte vinyl film used for cars

in addition of my first post i quit using the sheets, they work ok but i have to change them after each print, because they cant resist the heat that well afterall.
@satoer: I made your Cool light LED bar upgrade, the Tweezer Bracket, and your overhead Filament holder. All are nice upgrades for my new Filix 3.0 printer. Thanks
