I had begun to think of a new bed as a business expense. Hopefully this PEI will work and be a lower expense. If it lasts the 100 prints that most most reports say it does, then it is really no more expensive than what I spend on glue sticks.

I just finished my first print on the new PEI surface. I am extremely impressed. I got perfect adhesion with ABS and an easy release, all with no additional bed preparation. Thank you again Jules. This may be the best printer mod I have made to date.

Most excellent! It really is number 1. (Number 2 being the nema 17 dampers, but that one takes a little more finesse.)
