Funssor Removable PEI Print Surface for Flashforge Guider II Review

6 months ago

The removable PEI print surface I bought from Flashforge for my Guider II printer works great but is getting beat up after many months of printing 10-15 hours/day for my 3d printing business (see link below to my Etsy store).

It was time to replace it, but unfortunately Flashforge is no longer selling them. I assume that's because they're phasing out support for the Guider II.
:(

I searched around and found a 3rd party vendor on AliExpress (China direct). I've ordered other things off of AliExpress in the past with good success except one time when the vendor claimed I received the item when I didn't because the package was damaged so much they Post Office couldn't read the address.

Anyway, I took a chance and ordered one and it came just fine (I've since ordered 3 more so I have them for the future and they were delivered with no issues). This video is my review of the print surface.

It covers comparison to Flashforge version, Z-axis calibration, printing PETG with some problems and then finding a better way to print PETG.
