Just out of curiosity, Isn't it time 3D printing get it's own home in this forum ? ... this entry is getting quite long ....

For 2inch tape i got arrival stock next week.
The Max temp the platform can go is only 120C. The car tint has a higher temp resistant. In open source world its all about innovation and sharing. Car Tint film is Cheap and workable.

No the purpose of the glass is more for surface flatness compared to aluminum plates. Kapton or Tint film is more for ABS plastic printing because ABS don't stick on the glass or aluminum surface. PLA plastic printing don't necessary require the kapton or tint film. It depend on which plastic filament you want to use on the printer. ABS or PLA. NOTE: you don't want your model to come off while printing.

Window tint paper is kind of PET, and off course it's definitely one kind of the solution la.
But not any of the printer use low temp as ur printer does (like mine, to print ABS will had to chock up to 210C at least)
So my point of view is, Kapton tape is confirmed working solution which can withstand higher temperature, while tint paper is tested working but unsure of it's temperature withstand level

So if I print with ABS filament the bed side arrangement should be:
Regarding printing PLA directly on glass, I just tried using diluted PVA (white wood glue) as per the following video with good results. Hey ... I am a convert to PVA for PL
