Textured PEI is amazing. Got one for my Genius Pro (one side smooth and one side textured) and it’s great. Almost exclusively use the textured side.
I'm trying to figure out these magnetic plates. My Ender 3 Pro came with a magnetic sheet built in, but I can't tell if the bed itself was magnetic or if that sheet on the base plate was the magnet part. I have another bed attached right now so I can't easily pop it off to see if anything sticks to the base.
I’m not knowledgeable about Ender but all the 3rd party sheets I’ve seen, it’s the bed that’s magnetic.
My bed is glass, but the sheet I bought contained a magnetic sticker, that I stuck on to the glass bed and then I can add my PEI sheet on top.
That's what's throwing me, a lot of these I see on Amazon come with a magnetic sticker, but my bed already has that, I believe.
Then you just don’t attach the sticker and use the sheet as is.
Right but that's what I'm trying to figure out. I thought the magnetic side was that baseplate on my printer, but it seems like the removable bed is the part that is magnetic here... which means the spring-steel type PEI sheets may not work here. I guess before I put in an order I'll have to remove the current bed and see if there's any magnetic 'stick' on the baseplate.
