Bambu Lab Textured PEI Printing Plate for X1, P1 and A1 Series

Bambu Lab Textured PEI: Texture and Adhesion for Your Projects

The Bambu Lab Textured PEI print plate is designed for Bambu Lab X1, P1, and A1 series 3D printers. This plate with a textured surface made of PEI (polyetherimide) will give your prints a specific appearance on the bottom layer and ensure good adhesion. Thanks to the powder-coated PEI, the surface is durable and textured.

This plate combines aesthetic and practical properties, providing a textured surface and reliable adhesion.

Main Benefits

• Textured Surface: Prints will have a coarser texture on the first layer.
• Reliable Adhesion: Good adhesion for a wide range of materials, often without glue (glue may be recommended for specific filaments).
• High Durability: PEI material withstands repeated heating and cooling.
• Easy Print Removal: After cooling (below 35 °C), prints can be easily removed, or the plate can be slightly bent.
• Wide Material Compatibility: Supports PLA, PETG, TPU as well as more demanding filaments like ABS, ASA, PC or Nylon.
• Strong Magnetic Adhesion: Stainless steel (0.5 mm) ensures stable attachment.
• Double-Sided Use: Both sides of the plate are textured.

Benefits for Different Users

For hobby users and DIYers:

• Easy Installation and Maintenance: Magnetic system and simple cleaning.
• Attractive Model Appearance: Textured surface for visually interesting prints.
• Reliable Printing: Minimisation of problems thanks to good adhesion.

For businesses and development departments:

• Stable and Repeatable Printing: Consistent results for prototypes and functional parts.
• Compatibility with Many Materials: Flexibility in testing and development.
• High Durability: Long lifespan even with demanding use.

For creative makers and designers:

• Unique Textured Surface: Original appearance for models.
• Support for Complex Shapes: Easier printing of intricate details.
• Inspiration for New Designs: Texture as a basis for creative modifications.

Practical Tips for Use

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the plate with water and a cleaner (e.g., Alphaprint) or detergent. Do not use acetone.
• Temperature: Set the bed temperature according to the recommendation for the given material (see table).
• Adhesive: Use recommended adhesive (e.g., Bambu Lab) for problematic materials (TPU, PC, PA/Nylon).
• Removal: Wait for the plate to cool down.
• Surface Restoration: If adhesion decreases, gently sand the surface (600 grit) and clean it.
• Wear in Calibration Area: This is normal and does not affect printing.
• Updates: Use the latest printer firmware.
