Know before you buy
These build plates are specifically engineered for the Bambu Lab X1, P1, and A1 series printers. Please ensure you select the correct size option to match your specific printer model's build volume.
The smooth PEI plate provides a flat, matte finish on the bottom of your prints and is ideal for high-precision applications. The textured PEI plate offers a rugged, aesthetic finish and is generally more forgiving for materials that require extra grip.
Generally, no. The PEI surface is designed to provide excellent natural adhesion for a wide range of filaments like PLA, PETG, and ABS. However, for materials that are prone to warping, you may still choose to use an adhesive as a precaution.
These plates are flexible, allowing you to simply bend the sheet slightly to pop the print off. Additionally, the plates are designed for self-release; as the plate cools down after printing, the material naturally contracts, making removal even easier.
Yes, these plates are highly durable and compatible with high-temperature filaments including PC and Nylon. The textured plate can withstand operating temperatures up to 180°C, while the smooth plate is rated for up to 120°C.
To maintain optimal adhesion, wipe the surface periodically with high-percentage isopropyl alcohol to remove oils and dust. Avoid using harsh abrasives or sharp metal scrapers, as these can damage the PEI coating over time.
