Bambu Lab Smooth PEI Plate Series
High Z-axis Precision Printing
Using the Smooth PEI Plate during the printing process helps to improve Z-axis accuracy, ensuring higher precision and consistency in vertical dimensions. These features make the Smooth PEI Plate an excellent choice for printing parts that require high fit accuracy, where precise alignment and tight tolerances are crucial.
Smooth Matte Surface Finish
The use of specially selected matte PEI sheets gives the bottom surface of prints a smooth matte texture, enhancing their overall appearance.
Diverse Filament CompatibilityPEI can print not only with common materials like PLA, TPU, and PETG, but also with high-temperature materials such as ABS and Nylon.
Note: If printing with filaments other than PLA, apply glue to prevent plate tearing.
Reliable Magnetic Adhesion to Prevent Warping
The Bambu Smooth PEI Plate features a 0.5 mm thick spring steel sheet that enhances magnetic adhesion, which helps prevent warping during 3D printing and ensures optimal print quality. It is also helpful when printing large models with warp-prone materials such as ABS, PC, and Nylon.
Precautions
- Please note that when using the Smooth PEI Plate on the A1, there is a higher risk of print plate corners curling or prints detaching from the plate. This is due to the thicker smooth PEI used on the plate, which increases the distance from the bed magnets and reduces magnetic attraction.
- If air bubbles appear on the build plate, heating it on the heated bed at a temperature of not less than 80 degrees for several hours can help eliminate the bubbles.
- Dust and grease deposited on the build plate can reduce adhesion. It is recommended to regularly clean the surface with detergent and water to maintain optimal adhesion.
- Never clean Smooth PEI with acetone, as acetone can damage the PEI surface.
- Always wait a few minutes for the print plate to cool down before removing the printed model, to facilitate print removal. This prevents damage to the plate and ensures the longevity of the product.
- Carefully sanding the surface with fine sandpaper (600-grit sandpaper is recommended) can help restore adhesion.
- Smooth PEI plates are considered consumables and will degrade over time. The warranty covers only manufacturing defects and does not include cosmetic damage such as scratches, dents, or cracks. Only plates that are defective upon arrival are covered by the warranty.
Recommended Settings
Please note that other slicer software settings may need to be adjusted according to the print model and filament requirements.
