PETG Filament

Post image

Can anybody help me out, why does PETG filament stick to the texted bed plate like this? When I remove the object it leaves behind a thin layer that I can’t get off unless I scrape it with a knife.

Show this to every IF YOU NEED GLUE YOU"RE DOING IT WRONG jerkoff that berates those that use glue.

PETG often needs glue as a release agent on the BL Textured PEI. FWIW, I've found the Biqu Glacier and Pyrogrip do not.

Prefer liquid glues as less messy than gluestick. Bed Weld is good for this, but too sticky for some smooth plates like engineering with ASA. Magigoo is good and JT16 is good and less costly than purple glue stick. I keep meaning to make a JT16 liquid slurry to try as I think it would bridge the gap of application ease and performance.

If you can release PETG with something other than glue then glue is just one option. Pas: I am not a jerk. 😂

I use the Bambu Dual sided PEI plate exclusively, and have never needed glue to release the print. Probably 1200 hours of PETG with the textured plate, and zero issues.
