Have them cut you a square or two of glass i did 7 9 x7 9 and try glass first.
Pei sheet over glass home different.
I have been printing on this basic glass for 2 weeks now and love it.
As the interface between the printer and the printed object the print surface sees the most abuse of any part on your 3d printer and will likely need to be replaced at some point during the life of the.
No clamps no clips to binder things.
Polycarbonate sheet lexan polycarbonate sheet white glass plastic sheets 1 4 in.
Been reading about how hard it is to get it perfectly flat when mounting the pei sheet and also how it can come unstuck in corner areas at random times.
Did not even have to replace the transfer tape patches.
Polyetherimide or pei material is an amorphous thermoplastic with high mechanical strength and rigidity.
Polyetherimide pei is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic known to exhibit high temperature resistance outstanding mechanical and electrical properties.
Popped it off flipped it over.
C 37 h 24 o 6 n 2.
Made in the usa.
Should i use the adhesive sheet that comes with it or just use it straight on the glass bed.
Unfilled pei thermoplastic is translucent and amber in color with exceptional mechanical thermal and electrical properties.
Pei polyetherimide is a strong rigid plastic that withstands high temperatures and offers excellent electrical insulation over a wide range of temperatures.
I layed it down glass side up pei down.
Working like a dream.
Single 1mm thick sheet installs quickly on top of existing flat build platforms e g.
It cost me 4 including tax for two piece of glass.

Tech tip ultem is often used instead of polysulfone when superior strength stiffness or temperature resistance is required.
I just ordered a pei sheet for my maker select.
Glass filled utem 2300 the addition of glass fiber reinforcement in the 2000 series enhances tensile strength stiffness and overall dimensional stability.
I got the larger pei sheet before i realized you can in fact remove pei from the transfer tape pretty easily it turns out when i had assumed it would.
