Bambu Lab Bambu Dual Texture PEI Plate (FAP012)

Excellent First-layer Adhesion and 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

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.

Two Textures (Textured and Smooth) in One Plate

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

• 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.
• 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.
• Carefully sanding the Textured PEI surface with fine-grit (600 was recommended) sandpaper can help restore adhesion.
• If bubbles appear on the bottom of the Smooth PEI sheet, heating it on the heatbed at a temperature of no less than 80 degrees for several hours can be helpful in eliminating the bubbles.
• Do not clean the Bambu Dual-Texture PEI Plate with Acetone, as it will damage the PEI surface.
• 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. 
• 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.
• The Bambu Dual-Texture 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.
