For bed temps with the PEI I've been using 60 for PLA, 80 for PETG, and 100 for ABS. Thise are basically what I used prior to PEl so I cant say theyve been optimized. I find most things wont come off easily by hand until the bed cools below 50C. Above that I can knock most things cleanly off with a ...

I've been running PEI for a while now - see the Ultem thread a few down. I used the 0.03" 12"x12" sheet from Amazon along with a roll of the 2" 486MP transfer tape - total investment ~$26. No issues at all with the installation. Just carefully laid down the tape with the edges as close as possible w...

Just a bit of advice as I've continued printing PETG on PEI... Pay attention to the Z stop distance or you may find it nearly impossible to get the print off. I set the gap to 0.06mm which caused the first Lyer to be substantially flattened. The PETG was very difficult to remove from the surface - e...

I ordered a 12"x12"x.03" sheet of PEI from Amazon and used some 3M 486MP transfer tape to bond it to the glass build plate - total cost of materials from Amazon was $27. The PEI was tough stuff to cut so I just used a cutoff wheel in the dremel to trim it to match the glass build plate. This PEI she...

Thanks for the insight, Jim. I did indeed measure each filament and such. Actually at this point I'm thinking there were other factors at play since when I printed the same objet today in magenta with what I thought were my prior good magenta settings, the object came out looking about the same as t...

So, last weekend I bought a spool of the Inland magenta PETG at Microcenter and got literally the best print quality ever on some larger objects (Bari sax mouthpieces). Settings were my standard PLA with the temps cranked up to 245/100 printing onto kapton. Absolutely beautiful prints on my first tr...
