Bambu Lab Smooth and Textured PEI Plate
Description
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
- Increasing the temperature of the heatbed enhances the adhesion of the filament to the build plate. Users can adjust the temperature of the heatbed or apply glue if additional adhesion is needed.
- During the printing process, dust and grease on the surface of the build plate can negatively impact material adhesion. It is recommended to regularly clean the surface with detergent and water to eliminate any dust or grease residue first. If it doesn't work, clean the surface with alcohol.
- Wait until the build plate fully cools down to prevents damage to the plate and prints when removing the printed parts.
- Do not clean the plate with acetone, as it will damage the PEI surface.
- Carefully sanding the surface with fine-grit (600 was recommended) sandpaper can help restore adhesion.
- The Textured 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.

Features
High Z-axis precision printing
The use of a Smooth PEI Plate contributes to improved Z-axis precision during the printing process, ensuring greater accuracy and consistency in the vertical dimension. These qualities make the Smooth PEI Plate an excellent choice for printing parts that demand a high level of fit accuracy, where precise alignment and tight tolerances are crucial.
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
Excellent first-layer adhesion, Improved durability
After optimizing the manufacturing process of the Bambu Texture PEI Plate, the durability of the plate is enhanced. Additionally, the adhesion between the prints and the plate is significantly improved, eliminating the need for adhesives.
*In some situations, glue is required for very specific filaments
*In some situations, glue is required for very specific filaments
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.
