Polyetherimide, more commonly known in its abbreviated form PEI, is a “relatively maintenance-free” build surface that can be used for all types of filaments on a heated or unheated 3D print bed. It doesn’t require any additional adhesives such as glue or tape.

How to remove the model | Remove the model after cooling. For high temperature printing, it is recommended to cool down slightly before taking the model. | As the PC Spring Steel has a strong viscosity, ①For printing the high-temperature consumables need to cool down 【slightly to not be hot 】 or wear anti-scalding gloves to remove the model. To prevent the sticker fro being torn off after the model removed in the cools down in some cases. ②For printing smaller models or models with a very low height, it is recommended to add brim when printing to facilitate removal of the model | Remove the model after cooling. For high temperature printing, it is recommended to cool down slightly before taking the model. | Remove the model after cooling.
