Pei Sheet Over Glass

As the interface between the printer and the printed object the print surface sees the most abuse of any part on your 3d printer and will likely need to be replaced at some point during the life of the printer.

Pei sheet over glass.

This matches what i generally used on glass. Everything i ve used just sticks to pei with no glue or hair spray or anything else required. Make sure this fits by entering your model number. All plates and magnets are inspected to ensure full functionality to make sure they meet our standards for them.

Textured pei plates may have a non uniform color appearance as they are sprayed and the pei is baked onto the plate this. Made in the usa. It just sort of peels right off and printing circles and arcs is impossible as the extruded plastic just doesn t stick to the bed. I ve wiped down the pei with a lens wipe so it should be clean.

At 70c pla isn t sticking to it. Single 1mm thick sheet installs quickly on top of existing flat build platforms e g. The pei film is adhered to the glass bedplate with a semi permanent adhesive in order to maximize the lifetime of the pei print surface. Pei polymer is extruded by ensinger in sheet and rod shapes using sabic s ultem resin.

I ve run glass the craptastic preforated sheet that shipped with my printer painter s tape kapton tape and pei and vastly prefer the latter out of all of them. I ve printed quite a few parts now using the stock bed temperature of generic pet profile. It provides even greater rigidity and dimensional stability than ultem 1000 while still providing the unfilled grades useful characteristics. Unfilled pei thermoplastic is translucent and amber in color with exceptional mechanical thermal and electrical properties.

Smooth pei plates may have a non uniform appearance under the pei as that is the adhesive visible through the pei sheet this is normal. While this pei surface on my printer bed is good for adhesion i had serious problems getting this sheet to stick to either the aluminum bed or a glass plate even using 3m 468 adhesive. Polyetherimide or pei material is an amorphous thermoplastic with high mechanical strength and rigidity. Bed at 85 on first layer then 90.

I got a pei sheet and applied it to my glass build plate. Borosilicate glass abs and pla filaments along with many other materials print directly on to pei surface without the need for additional adhesives tapes or slurry. In addition i ve used gluestick to avoid pet sticking too much on the pei as recommended. The problem is that the sheet of pei i received was warped about 1 2 over 12 inches length.

I m looking for experience about printing petg on the smooth pei.
