Review on BCZAMD Dual-Textured Spring Powder by Mike Wallace

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The finished product is flawless (for my purposes)

I'm creating a decorative product with a large flat surface and I'm not happy with the visible plane lines. If I triple the print time, I might lose most of the lines, but the tiniest scratch becomes a noticeable distraction. Not wanting to wait a few extra days to buy textured sheet directly from Prusa, I decided to take a risk and buy this textured PEI spring sheet from Revain. I am very happy with this sheet as it helps me achieve the desired effect: a large "flat" surface with no layer lines or annoying imperfections. I love the texture this sheet has given my print as it looks finished and not 3D printed. I've read some concerns about sheet perforations scratching the printer bed, but I have no burrs around my sheet's perforations and my printer bed has not been affected by using this sheet. Keep Z calibration in mind as you move to this textured sheet, and remember that PETG is very, very, very sticky. Allow the print to cool completely before removing it from the sheet and only use isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface of the sheet. It washes well, but not as quickly as my smooth sheet. I love the finished product and will be ordering additional textured sheets for my other printers.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
