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
 
 
Surface Finish

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.

Compatibility with various filaments

PEI allowing it to print not only common materials such as PLA, TPU, and PETG, but also materials that require high temperatures like ABS and Nylon.

Prevent warping with reliable magnetic adhesion

The Bambu Texture PEI Plate features a 0.5mm thick stainless steel plate that enhanced magnetic adhesion. This helps to prevent warping and ensure optimal print quality during 3D printing, reducing the likelihood of the first layer detaching due to deformation. It also helps when printing larger models in materials that are prone to warping like ABS, PC and Nylon.

Textured surface finish

Bambu Texture PEI Plate offers a one-of-a-kind first-layer surface. Through the application of a powder-coating process, this PEI Build Plate creates a rugged texture that adds a texture to your prints.

Considerations

 

  • 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.

  • Before auto-leveling, it is necessary to repeatedly rub the nozzle in the special wiping area of the build plate to completely remove any residual material at the tip of the nozzle. The coating in the special-designed wiping area will gradually become worn over time. This is normal and does not affect print quality or nozzle lifetime, so there is no need to worry about any quality issues.
  • 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.

  • 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. Do not clean the Textured PEI with Acetone, as it will damage the PEI surface.

  • 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.

  • Carefully sanding the surface with fine-grit (600 was recommended) sandpaper can help restore adhesion.

  • The Automatic Calibration for Flow Rate on the Textured PEI Plate it is not as reliable compared to other smooth plates. If you get inconsistent results, we recommend calibrating with a smooth plate.

  • 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.
