🖨️ ULTISTIK Premium Powdered Textured Printer Review

A quick alcohol wipe for removing contamination and calibrating the first layer and it worked great with borderless PLA. You may need to adjust Z more than you're used to with smooth steel, but once you get that nice flattened section of filament when you calibrate, you're done. The print stuck well and was easy to peel off. The surface is not as rough as other textured boards, it leaves a shiny, slightly rough finish with the PLA I use.

I needed to replace build plate sheets on my Prusa Mark 3S, I bought 2 of these textured plates. I have to say I'm suitably impressed. I mostly print with a 75/25 PETG/PCCF mix at a bed temperature of 80 to 100°C. And I had -0- problems with layer adhesion or detail removal. And I don't even use glue sticks or any other surface prep other than cleaning the sheets between prints. The sheets are much better preserved than the original sheets that came with the printer.

I love this build platform. Of all the things I've had to tweak or fix since getting my 3D printer, this wasn't one of them. I've gone from being afraid to print in PETG to being able to print beautifully. This plate holds the print while printing and easily releases it when the print is complete. The powder coating also feels extremely durable and I'm not worried about it peeling off. Great product and requires faster than expected shipping directly from the printer manufacturer.
