Review on 📏 Natural Standard Tolerance Thickness Polyetherimide by Rick Rogers

3D printer platforms must have 4 properties to ensure the prints will stick. They should be flat, evenly and evenly heated, and have a surface for the plastic to adhere to. This material meets the fourth criterion. I've already installed this stuff on two 3D printer beds (will be adding a third soon) and it was the best upgrade I could have made. PLA, ABS, and TPU adhere well and will peel off as the platform cools (okay, TPU needs to be peeled off, but it's not difficult). was at my house. For 2 years I used it so it used Kapton for months before it had to be replaced. Kapton 5 mil is a tough material. Or so I thought. I took a car to the Milwaukee Makerspace and the people there flipped through the Kapton weekly. Don't ask me what they did or how they did it, but I was really tired of changing bands so I decided to give PEI a try. I installed a piece of 60 mil thick PEI (only 12 times thicker than the Kapton I use!) on this machine about a year ago and no one has managed to damage it yet. I recently built a new printer for home use to replace one I took to the store and placed the 30 millionth piece of PEI on its bed. It works great and I don't expect to ever have to replace it. I've just ordered a third part, 30 mil, to be installed on a Taz printer in the shop. Note: I apply PEI directly to the cast aluminum print beds on all three machines. If you put it on glass (ugh!) you're only guessing if your prints will stick. If you're using glass, you probably don't even have heat.
