Description
Prusa Extra Print Sheets - The heatbed has embedded high Curie temperature magnets that firmly hold removable print sheets.
Smooth PEI Print Sheet - Best for PLA
Double-sided smooth PEI spring steel sheet. Perfect for PLA! Great adhesion with almost all materials. Results include smooth bottom of prints. One must apply glue stick when printing Flex. Small marks may be left on the print surface with your nozzle or tools; they will typically be shinier than the rest. It does not affect functionality or adhesion. However, if you want to have the same surface look on the whole printbed you can resurface it. The easiest way is to take the hard side of a dry kitchen sponge and wipe the affected area with a circular motion gently a few times. Do not clean with IPA before PETG-release agent might be necessary. The steel sheet color may differ from the product picture (black, gold, green, etc.) The smooth PEI surface on the steel sheet, as well as all other properties, remains the same for all color versions.
Textured Powder-Coated Print Sheet - Best for PETG
Double-sided textured PEI powder-coated spring steel sheet. Powder coating directly on metal makes it difficult to damage this build plate. If a heated nozzle crashes into it, the metal can dissipate the heat. Powder coating also gives the surface a distinct textured look that will be visible on your prints. Prints automatically detach after sheet cools down. The first layer can be more squished compared to smooth sheets. The textured surface hides most of the mechanical damage caused by tools. Only the top of the small bumps can be scratched, which will not imprint on the bottom of the model. No need for glue stick for PETG. PLA prints with a small contact area may need a brim and PLA with a huge footprint may wrap.
Satin Powder-Coated Print Sheet - Most Universal
Double-sided satin powder-coated spring steel sheet. The Satin sheet sits between the smooth and textured variants. Its powder-coated surface with lightly textured matte finish offers an optimal level of adhesion, especially when printing PLA and PETG materials. It is fully compatible with a wide range of common and less-common filaments, such as ABS, ASA, FlexFill 98A, Polycarbonate and more. A vast majority of materials can be printed without a separation layer (e.g., glue). Polycarbonate - prints better on satin (compared to smooth and textured sheets) - when printing with PC often, glue stick layer is recommended to prevent possible damage to the sheet. Do not clean with IPA before PETG-release agent might be necessary.
~Never clean any of the print sheets with acetone! Doing so will create microfractures in the texture, which will make the surface deteriorate over time.
Please note: Consumable parts, such as PEI sheets (smooth, textured, satin) are not covered by warranty as the coatings are designed to diminish over time unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship. Cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, cracks or other cosmetic damage is also not covered by the warranty. Only defective sheets on arrival are covered by warranty. Tiny dots may appear on the PEI-Ultem steel sheet surface. These can slightly affect the finished print bottom surface. However, they do not impact the printing process, reliability in any way. We do not consider these dots to be a reason for a warranty claim.
