Flexi bed, sticky sheet

Curious what this material is? I haven’t tried PLA on it yet, but it’s a disaster with PETg, removing the print either destroys the item or tears up the sheet. Previous been using BuildTak, works well with PETg.

The material is a poly-carbonate blend, but we're considering switching to PEI.

 

You should be able to fix a PEI sheet onto the other side of the flexplate and print on that with PETG with a little more success.

Having started printing more with PETG, too I have to agree - I just destroyed my flexbed trying to remove a print. Can I already order a PEI sheet or can you recommend one?

    Runout sensor does not work

    Discussion 
    Runout sensor does not work. The printer continue without filament. The green led of sensor works correct, when the filament is over goes off. Does anyone check the sensor ?

    Extrusion Motors won't extrude with touchscreen

    Discussion 
    My extrusion motors stopped rotating after I stopped a print mid-way. I am no longer able to make them spin using the touchscreen. First thing I tried was re-uploading the firmware. Didn't fix it. Next, I tried re-uploading the touchscreen firmware. Didn't fix it. I also used Pronterface to manually heat and extrude. This did work! Why is Pronterface able to make my extrusion motors work, but the touchscreen can't anymore? I double checked all the wiring to make sure nothing came unplugged. My best guess is something is wrong my ribbon cable that is connecting the touchscreen to the main board as that is what sends the commands (and using pronterface uses the USB plug which connects to a different spot on the board) EDIT: It has fixed itself somehow. Not sure if using the filament > load feature fixed it versus just using the Extrusion > In feature...
