Product Information
Are you in Australia and looking to buy a Bambu Labs Smooth PEI Plate for your A1 Mini 3D printer? This plate offers high Z - axis precision printing, making it perfect for parts that need tight tolerances. Its smooth and matte surface finish gives your printed objects a great look. It's compatible with various filaments, including high - temperature materials like ABS and Nylon. The 0.5mm - thick spring steel plate provides reliable magnetic adhesion, preventing warping, especially for large models. However, there are some things to note. There's a higher risk of the plate curling or models detaching due to the thicker PEI. Bubbles can be removed by heating the sheet on the heatbed at 80 degrees or more for a few hours. Regular cleaning with detergent and water maintains adhesion, but avoid using acetone. Wait for the plate to cool before removing models. Sanding the surface can restore adhesion. Remember, it's a consumable part, and the warranty only covers manufacturing defects. Recommended settings vary by material, and installation on X1, P1, or A1 series is easy - just align with fixed points and secure to the magnetic platform. The plate is made of a Smooth PEI Sheet and a Magnetic Spring Steel Plate, with a surface temperature resistance up to 120℃, a PEI sheet thickness of 0.125mm, and a spring steel plate thickness of 0.5mm/0.4mm. The usable print size is 256*256mm.
Using this Bambu Lab Smooth PEI Plate for your A1 Mini 3D printer is a great way to improve your printing results. First, when installing it on X1, P1, or A1 series printers, face the plate name towards you, align it with the platform's fixed points, and then lower it onto the magnetic platform. When printing, different materials need different settings. For example, PLA works well at 45 - 60℃ on the heatbed without glue, while PETG needs 60 - 80℃ and some glue. Be aware that there's a chance the plate might curl or the printed models could detach because of the thicker PEI. If bubbles appear on the sheet's bottom, heat it on the heatbed at 80 degrees or more for a few hours. Keep the plate clean by washing it with detergent and water regularly to maintain good adhesion, but never use acetone as it can damage the PEI. Wait a few minutes for the plate to cool down before removing printed models to prevent damage. If adhesion gets weak, sand the surface gently with 600 - grit sandpaper. Since it's a consumable part, it'll wear out over time. The warranty only covers manufacturing defects, so be careful with it.
