- Alternative to 3M Kapton Tape 5413: Tapes Master 1 Mil polyimide tape is alternative to 3M Kapton tape 5413. The tape is a HN general purpose amber color film with silicon adhesive and 3” polyethylene core. RoHS approved and Halogen Free.
- High Temperature Resistant - Flame Retardant: Polyimide tape not only flame retardant (at temperatures as low as -273°C (-459°F) and as high as 400°C (752°F)), but also chemical and radiation resistant which protects surfaces to help reduce replacement costs
- No Residue after Peeling Off: Polyimide film does not soften at elevated temperatures, thus provides an excellent release surface at elevated temperatures. In addition, silicone adhesive's high temperature performance reduces adhesive transfer which helps to eliminate cleaning, enabling high productivity.
- Protection, Insolation and Bonding: Protection of gold fingers: of printed circuit boards during wave solder or solder dip process. Insulation and Bonding for electrical switches, motor, lithium battery under Grade H
- Surface for 3D printers: Kapton and ABS adhere to each other very well, therefore is the recommended use of Kapton as a bed surface for 3D printers

I'm pretty sure kapton tape is what spank and maybe a few other rim makers are selling as tubeless tape. It is working well for me so far.
Ask away, we learn “safely” by asking questions 😀
It’s hard to say, thermistors are very tricky to attach because you have to make sure it’s placed correctly and that the wires don’t short on each other or the block or the screw. They’re relatively inexpensive and good to have extras on hand. you’ll know fairly quickly if its not working just Test before reassembling, wear protection they get super hot super fast.
This is another advantage with the E3D hot end. They use a canister type thermistor which is 100x easier to mount. There are E3D knock offs that are way cheaper but I haven’t found any that use this thermistor.
Your heat cartridge looks perfectly fine..
I realize you might be asking about the kapton tape they used to cover the wires. I’m not sure it’s required, certainly doesn’t hurt 😀

Additionally, you can change out kapton tape for something like gorilla tape for less money.
Was it this? Or am I thinking of something else?
