hi everyone I’ve been recommended to use PEI sheets on my base. Looking on Amazon I’ve seen quite a few versions. Any suggestions on what I should buy and how will they last before I need to change them
thank you
Hi @fingers888 I use PEI on both my FF Pro and my Prusa i3 Mk2 and have been very pleased with their adhesion. Downsides are that they can be too sticky - with some materials I’ve found the prints can be very difficult to remove - PETG for one - so I use blue tape on top. They’re also rather messy to replace - you have to freeze the bed, then remove the old adhesive using D-Limonene and scrap it away; it’s not a pleasant process. However, they should last for a good long time if you’re careful removing prints - don’t “dig” into the bed at all, make sure you use a sharp scraper with a bevelled edge that can be used flat on the surface so the only pressure is on the print itself.
What printer do you have?
