Went down to 185C and 50 bed (60 for first layer), removed the fan guard. PLA still bonding fine. No warping , better walls. PEI works.

How many posts are needed to write PM's? I would really like to buy one of jimc's MIC6 tooling plates.

I might jump on Jim's market for the MIC6 plates. He makes them as a service but doesn't really make a ton of money on them. I'm setup to make the things from larger sheets of MIC6 and have access to a bead blaster as well.

bryan, by all means. if you want to start running them off for people. feel free. i do it mostly just to help out everyone here. nothing revolving around 3d printing is how i make a living and i know you try to make a side business out of it so i will gladly had over the reins.

I'm interesting in purchasing one if you decide to build\sell them.

Just ran a test part with Hatchbox PETG (Orange) - no heat on the bed and it seemed to stick adequately. At 60C I was leaving bits on the surface when removing parts, so I thought I'd try it cold. I have Black Hatchbox and some eSun PETG too - will try those as well to see what I get.

I'm printing the Hatchbox PETG at 265C.

Well thought I would try The PEI Sheet. I think it assembled ok . Little bit tricky but followed the hints from the forum and
finally got it on.

Looks good!

Thanks.

It leveled and calibration went well.

First print running now. Wont know anything for sure until morning but looking good so far.

Thanks for the help.

Is sanding the sheet necessary ?

I took the plunge last night and felt that I did a good job of getting it onto the MIC 6 plate.

I ran into some initial issues with nozzle height. Trying to find the sweet spot, but was wondering if the PEI needs to be roughed up some.
