Smooth PEI vs textured PEI
| Surface | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth PEI | PLA, PETG (with glue), shiny bottom layer | Less forgiving of nozzle gap, shows wear |
| Textured PEI | PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, textured bottom layer | First layer texture transfers to print |
| CryoGrip Pro | Premium all-rounder, fast release | Higher cost |
CryoGrip Pro: the premium option
CryoGrip Pro is a high-performance build sheet that grips firmly during printing then releases the print without effort once cooled. Particularly good for PLA, PETG and PCTG. Stocked at Siddament for several popular printer formats.
Sheet size by printer
Build sheets come in printer-specific sizes. Check the size for your machine before ordering. Common sizes stocked include 235x235 mm, 256x256 mm, 220x220 mm and various Prusa sizes.
Replacing a worn build sheet
- Visible scratches or grooves
- Print refuses to stick even after cleaning
- Lifted or bubbled spring steel under the sheet
- Surface looks shiny and slick (PEI worn through)
Care and longevity
- Wipe with isopropyl alcohol before each print
- Deep clean with dish soap and warm water weekly
- Use glue stick for PETG to avoid surface damage on removal
- Never use metal scrapers on PEI
