Print Surfaces for 3D Printers
Also known as build sheets, these print surfaces adhere to the printer beds of fused filament fabrication (FFF) printers to create a build surface for all types of filaments. More durable than masking tape, easier to take off than glue, and better than printing on a bare bed, they grip the first layer of your printed part and firmly hold it in place during the print to prevent warping. Once cooled, you can easily remove the part from the print surface without damaging the part or the surface. You can also remove the print surface from the printer bed without leaving a sticky residue behind, making surface changes quick and easy.
All are heat resistant and durable, so they can be used multiple times. Use them to protect your printer beds from cracking due to rapidly changing temperatures—it’s cheaper and easier to replace a print surface than a printer bed. Cut the print surfaces to size with scissors, peel off the backing, and stick them in place.
Plastic-blend print surfaces deliver the strongest hold and are good for use with filaments that are prone to warping, such as polycarbonate. They may be too strong for some polyester-based filaments, making it difficult to remove. These print surfaces have a coarse texture, so the bottom of your part will not be as smooth as those made from PEI or polycarbonate. Use them on both heated and unheated printer beds.
PEI print surfaces are the longest lasting print surfaces. They are also the easiest to release, making them good for sticky filaments like PETG. They have a smooth texture, which will leave a smooth finish on the bottom of your part. Use them on both heated and unheated printer beds.
Polycarbonate print surfaces are available for use on heated or unheated printer beds. All have a smooth texture, which will leave a smooth finish on the bottom of your part. Print surfaces for heated printer beds are particularly good for use with nylon filaments. Those for unheated printer beds are good for PLA and flexible TPU filaments.
Use the primer and smoothing tools to remove wrinkles and trapped air bubbles that can occur when applying large print surfaces.

Heaters for 3D Printer Beds
For accurate printing, these heaters help the bottom layer of parts stick to the print surface of your 3D printer without shifting. They also prevent parts from warping—these heaters are recommended when printing most kinds of plastic. After printing, turning them off lets the plastic cool and contract, making it easier to remove the part. Made of mica and embedded with nickel-chromium wire, these heaters warm up faster than printed circuit board (PCB) heaters, so you can start printing sooner. Use them only if your printer can have a heated bed.
These heaters are 8" × 8" in size, a standard for 3D printers—make sure your printer bed is the same size or slightly larger. Stick them directly under the build plate, or if your printer bed is removable, you can put them under the entire printer bed. Either way, heat will reach the build plate. To accommodate different printer bed configurations, these heaters have four through holes and angled corners.
Wire these heaters to your printer using the two sets of wire leads. One set powers the heater and connects directly to the printer, usually with screw-down terminals. The other set connects to your printer’s thermistor, which turns the heater on and keeps it set to the temperature you select. This set of wire leads may require crimp-on connectors; check your printer’s manual. You may have to update your printer’s firmware before using these heaters.

Borosilicate Glass Sheets
- Color: Clear
- Max. Temp.: 445° F
- Fabrication: Annealed
Also known as Pyrex and Schott glass, borosilicate sheets are heat resistant, clear, and have a super-smooth surface. They're used in a range of applications, from high-temperature viewports to 3D printing.
More durable than common glass found in window panes and drinkware, borosilicate resists expanding and contracting even under extreme temperature swings. It's why borosilicate is often used for exterior lighting and laboratory glassware—you can transfer it directly from freezer to oven rack without warping or cracking.
Borosilicate is optically clear—use it as a viewport or in optical and analytical equipment where clarity is key. It won't cloud or pit when exposed to most chemicals, such as acid, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and organic substances. In fact, borosilicate is so chemical resistant that it's used to store nuclear waste.
Because they're extremely flat and keep their shape at high temperatures, borosilicate sheets are used in 3D printing, where an accurate first print layer is critical to producing high-quality, geometrically accurate parts. Known in this context as build plates and print surfaces, they also prevent damage to the printer, which sometimes operates at extremely close distances. The flat, smooth surface makes them easy to clean. Sheets with chamfered edges don’t have sharp edges, so they won’t cut you as you reach in and retrieve prints or clean the print surface.
