CHOOSE THE BEST PRINT SURFACE FOR THE JOB
BuildTak Polyetherimide (PEI) Build Surface sheets adhere to your 3D printer’s print bed, or onto your BuildTak FlexPlate with the same no-cleanup BuildTak Original adhesive. The PEI sheets are comparable to BuildTak’s Original printing surface, but exhibit slightly different adhesion and release properties, which vary from material to material. In general, BuildTak Original sheets will offer a stronger grip of your 3D prints to the 3D printing surface, whereas BuildTak PEI sheets will offer even easier release of finished 3D prints. It is a great alternative to PEI or Kapton Tape. Combine your BuildTak PEI Sheet with a FlexPlate System for ultimate ease in 3D print removal, and easily swap between BuildTak Original and PEI with an Extra FlexPlate!
After prolonged use, you may find that you need to clean your BuildTak surface with some isopropyl alcohol (or soap and water) to renew its adhesion abilities. Allow to dry completely. If your BuildTak sheet becomes damaged, just replace it with a new one!
Questions
How thick is the sheet?
Is there a reason why three are shipped vs five on the (BuildTak) site.
Is there a bed temperature limit on this PEI sheet?
Is there a protective layer on both sides of the pei sheet? Or is the only thing that needs to be removed on the printing side the sticker that says "remove before printing"?
Completely useless in the whatever units you are using. What is it in metric?
Do sheets already have adhesive to stick to bed?
Do you still need to use something like ABS juice when printing ABS with this, or is this sheet enough to get good bed adhesion?
Can these sheets be cut to size? I have a Bibo2 with a glass plate, 8.4" x 7.3".
So i bought the BuildTak 3D Printer PEI Build Surface 9" x 10" (Pack of 3). I didn't know that it wasn't a plate. My question is would you advise i put the surface on my current build teck plate or buy a new plate to put these surfaces on. ( will the new surface destroy the build tech surface that comes on the plate originally? )
do I need to do anything to the surface of the BuildTak PEI before printing?
@Quadcells No, not if you set the z-offset correctly.
