I’ve had a MK4S for over a week now, and 100% of the prints I’ve tried to make on the textured sheets have partially or totally failed. PLA prints beautifully on the smooth sheet, but PLA, PETG and ABS, I think I could print on the surface of a 10 inch tank of oil with more success than the textured sheet. Plastic doesn’t stick to it. I’ve wiped it with isopopyl, I’ve washed it with dawn…it’s a bad print surface and I want my money back.
I find the smooth one works adequately for PLA. I don’t have a satin one, and I think I’d have better luck printing on an inch deep tank of cod liver oil than the textured sheet.
I’ll go back to printing on glass and glue stick before I start fucking around with hair spray.
I’ve tried all 3 and found hairspray the absolute winner of bed adhesion and it’s not even close.
I’ve printed PETG on glue stick on glass since Obama was president and until this week I would have told you PETG doesn’t peel the corners up like ABS does.
