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.
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.
Use the primer and smoothing tools to remove wrinkles and trapped air bubbles that can occur when applying large print surfaces.
