3D Printing - Unboxing & testing a Removable PEI Build Surface vs. Sticker - Part 1
In this video series I review a removeable flexible PEI (polyetherimide) build plate and compare it to the removeable build plate with a sticker.
PEI requires very little maintenance yet has strong adhesive properties compared to a sticker.
Part 1 covers unboxing, installation, leveling, and first PLA test print.
Part 2 covers, removing supports, testing printing PETG, printing with a raft, large surface print, fixing a 1 layer print failure, narrow base with no brim, keeping the corners down after lots of flexing to remove parts.
