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.

    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?
