What is PEI for 3D printing?

PEI (Polyetherimide) is a great building surface for any 3D printer. The amber / yellow colored surface is commonly used to print a whole range of different filament types such as the two most commonly used ones, ABS and PLA. PEI is widely becoming the gold standard build surface because it is so convenient to use.

What is PEI coating?

PEI (Polyetherimide), also known as Ultem, is a reusable “relatively maintenance free” build surface for both ABS (with a Heated Bed) and PLA (hot or cold) requiring no additional adhesives such as glue or tape. PEI is appealing due to its “no-surface-prep” conditions, which make it convenient to work with.

How do you use 3D Lac?

Spray the still cold print bed outside the printer with 3DLAC; the spray is rather sticky. Wipe / spread the spray evenly over the bed with your fingers. Put the bed back in your printer and you are ready for your print….3DLAC has a number of advantages:

1. ease of use.
2. cheap.
3. clean.
4. easy to remove with water.

How do you cut PEI?

PEI can be cut down to size by scoring with a blade. Wipe down the surface with isopropyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, or soap between prints to have a clean surface. Light sanding with 2000 grit sand paper will also give the PEI sheet more life. For certain plastics, including ABS and PLA, a heated bed is required.

What is PEI glass?

Polyetherimide, more commonly known in its abbreviated form PEI, is a “relatively maintenance free” build surface that can be used for all types of filament on a heated or unheated print bed. It doesn’t require any additional adhesives such as glue or tape.

Is PEI hydrophilic?

Poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) is an amino-rich highly hydrophilic cationic polyelectrolyte that has also been used as a functionalizing agent for carbon materials.

How do you clean a 3d Lac?

With 3DLac parts are strongly adhered to the base bed. It is also very easy to clean with a damp cloth is sufficient.

Are PEI sheets reusable?

PEI Ultem (Polyetherimide) from Prima Filaments is a reusable, relatively maintenance free, build surface for better adhesion and less warping. Use it for ABS (with a heated bed) and PLA (hot or cold). You can use it for other materials such as Metal, Wood, PETG, ABS+ and many others, too.
