Excellent First-layer Adhesion and Improved Durability
Self-release when Cooled Down
PEI is an excellent material for 3D printing applications due to its ability to withstand the repeated heating and cooling cycles of a printer heatbed. Prints come off easily when the temperature of the heatbed reaches room temperature, and we always recommend waiting until it reaches 35℃ or lower. If the print is still adheres to the plate, simply bend the steel plate and the model will fall right into your hands.
High Z-axis Precision Printing
Smooth and Matte Surface Finish
The use of a specially selected matte PEI sheet can impart a smooth and matte texture to the bottom surface of the printed object, enhancing its overall appearance.
Two Textures (Textured and Smooth) in One Plate
Enjoy the benefits of two different textures in one plate, one side is Textured PEI surface and the other side is Smooth PEI surface. This Plate features a 0.5mm magnetic stainless steel plate that enhances magnetic adhesion and helps to prevent warping and ensure optimal print quality during 3D printing.
Considerations
- Deposition of dust and grease on the build plate decrease adhesion. It is recommended to regularly clean the surface with detergent and water to to maintain best adhesion.
- Increasing heatbed temperature enhances adhesion. Users need to adjust the temperature of the heatbed based on their specific requirements in order to achieve the most suitable level of adhesion.
- Carefully sanding the Textured PEI surface with fine-grit (600 was recommended) sandpaper can help restore adhesion.
- If bubbles appear on the bottom of the Smooth PEI sheet, heating it on the heatbed at a temperature of no less than 80 degrees for several hours can be helpful in eliminating the bubbles.
- Do not clean the Bambu Dual-Texture PEI Plate with Acetone, as it will damage the PEI surface.
- Bambu Lab recommends only using Bambu Lab official glue on the Bambu Lab build plates, and can not be held responsible for any damage caused to plates as a result of using third-party glue on build plates.
- Always wait for a few minutes before removing printed models to allow the plate to cool down for easy print removal. This prevents damage to the plate and ensures a long lifetime of the product.
- The Bambu Dual-Texture PEI Plate is considered a consumable part, which will degrade over time. The warranty will only cover manufacturing defects, not cosmetic damage like scratches, dents, or cracks. Defective sheets upon arrival are the only ones covered by the warranty.
