KB3D Flex Build Plate - Dual Sided - Textured / Powder Coated - PEI - Black - 0.5mm

KB3D's PEI coated spring steel build plates feature a tuned surface roughness and 0.5mm core plate thickness. Dual sided for 2 lifecycles in one plate!

Ideal use-cases:

Textured PEI plates are highly durable and can withstand moderate abuse even from nozzle contact. This makes them a great fit as a first build plate for those getting familiar with them.

PEI is a suitable print surface for nearly all FDM thermoplastics, but there are some precautions:

- PETG and TPU/TPE can stick too well to PEI. Consider a interface layer of glue stick or similar to ensure bonding doesn't occur, especially when printing too close to the build plate.

- Some nylons will not adhere well enough to PEI, especially larger models with high warp tendencies.

General Guidelines:

Textured PEI plates will need a lower first layer than you may be used to if coming from glass or smooth surfaces. 

A new build surface means new Z offsets/Bed levels! Tune them like you would any other surface.

Remove PETG and TPU/TPE prints when warm, not cool.

Clean your new surface with isopropyl alcohol before the first use, and periodically after that. Mild soap and water also works.

Avoid touching the build surface to keep finger oils from affecting adhesion between cleanings

A good lint-free cloth or microfiber towel will help avoid small contaminants

Don't over flex the build plates! Even spring steel can be stretched with too much force.

Avoid scrapers or razor blades to remove prints, flex the plate instead!

Stains or discoloration are normal with use, and won't affect performance. Print witness marks should be expected in certain lighting.

Includes:

1 Build plate in any available size - Magnetic sheet not included.

Features:

0.5mm core thickness for higher holding power and anti-dimpling when used with Mag Beds (0.8mm total thickness)

Double sided - Two build surfaces in one!

Tuned Powder Coated PEI surface roughness for better adhesion. (0.15mm RA)

Self-releases most prints after cooling, others need a single quick flex!

Large lift tab surface area for easy removal

Spring steel core for a lifetime of flexing

Black in color for less reflection and better first-layer inspection
