If you have a textured PEI sheet and are still having bed adhesion issues, here are a few things you can try troubleshooting:

  1. Calibration: Check to ensure that your printer's bed is properly calibrated. If the print is too close to the bed, it may not stick. If it's too far away from the bed, the adhesion will weaken.

  2. Temperature: Ensure that you are printing at the proper temperature for the filament you are using and the recommended printing settings for the filament on the spool. If the temperature is too low, your filament won't adhere to the bed properly.

  3. Extruder problems: Check that your extruder is not clogged, as this can cause filament jams and lead to poor adhesion.

  4. Bed leveling: Ensure that your printer's bed is flat and level. Even a small amount of tilt can cause adhesion issues.

  5. Surface Preparation: Ensure that the surface has been properly cleaned and that there is no residue left on the surface that could prevent adhesion. It is recommended to us...

You should use a brim for prints like that

#

They've got tons of tiny parts with very little surface area

#

Weird

#

Have you cleaned it properly?

native void
#

what material

#

Yeah textured pei doesnt really like pla that much.. but you can work with it with extra steps

neon lava
#

You might want to try some sandpaper

native void
#

Eh I wouldn't recommend it on textured pei because the coating is so thin

neon lava
#

Not very rough sandpaper, just enough to give it some more texture

neon lava
native void
#

Do you mean smooth pei?

#

Because thats a thing

#

but textured has a coating so thin and easy to damage

neon lava
#

There is one more thing to try

native void
#

Regardless, in my experience PLA just hates textured pei @void birch I myself often use adhesives for it

neon lava
#

Have you cleaned it with soap and water?

native void

#

It sounds weird, but soap and water can work wonders

#

Oh, oops

#

Have you leveled your bed recently?

native void
#

uhh how much

#

how much acetone did you use exactly

#

Yeah eh, if its not working after that then its a goner

#

Also try to stick to smooth pei for pla prints

#

Yeah acetone is a last resort thing.. i'm surprised

#

Yeah those sheets for sure need sandpaper then they're amazing

neon lava
#

You could try some steel wool instead of sandpaper

#

It's apparently much gentler on it

#

Pei can just do that sometimes

#

Like I said, steel wool can revitalize it

#

Yeah, that could definetly cause some wear and tear on the bed
