I’ve had a MK4S for over a week now, and 100% of the prints I’ve tried to make on the textured sheets have partially or totally failed. PLA prints beautifully on the smooth sheet, but PLA, PETG and ABS, I think I could print on the surface of a 10 inch tank of oil with more success than the textured sheet. Plastic doesn’t stick to it. I’ve wiped it with isopopyl, I’ve washed it with dawn…it’s a bad print surface and I want my money back.
PETG, PLA, ABS, I haven’t gotten anything to stick to it. It’s “powder coated” but it doesn’t say what powder. Is it teflon?
Its PEI, powder coated. Everything should stick to it with out any adhesives. Soap?
I’ve seen instructions saying to, and not to, wash it with soap and water. I have washed it with Dawn dish soap and warm water, I’ve wiped it off with isopropyl alcohol, doesn’t fucking matter. Nothing sticks to it. When we’re done with Greenland, we need to do Czechia.
Freedom soap and alot of hot water is all you need. If thats not enough and you havent invaded the bed in weird ways before its probably bad Start code or user error.
chin on fist it’s been a long time since I’ve invaded the bed in weird ways. Maybe i should call her, she’s married and lives in Texas now but maybe I should call her.
Stupid question, you sure you are using the right bed temperature? The feature of a PEI textured sheet is that it self released the part when the bed cools down,.
That is not a stupid question. That is a valid question. I’m using Prusa’s provided templates in PrusaSlicer. This includes Prusament PETG with the Prusament PETG template. This is a stupid question: As many parts as Prusa makes printing Prusament PETG on Prusa printers with Prusa build sheets, wouldn’t that material template be well tested?
