XL PA Nylon Powder-coated Print Sheet

OVERVIEW:

The heatbed has embedded high Curie temperature magnets. These magnets are able to firmly hold removable spring steel sheets.

This print sheet is specially designed to print polyamide-based filaments, especially the Prusament PA11 Carbon Fiber Black. The PA11-type materials have generally a lower adhesion on textured or satin print sheets. This sheet has a special surface finish that increases the adhesion and is perfect for Prusament PA11. You can learn more about the Double-sided Powder-coated PA Nylon Spring Steel Sheet in our knowledgebase.

IMPORTANT!

The surface of this sheet should be cleaned only with pure water. Using common agents such as IPA or Acetone will lead to a quick deterioration of the surface. Using a glue stick is no longer required and recommended. To clean grease-coated areas, use clean water with a drop of dishwashing detergent.

ATTRIBUTES

• Great for polyamide-based materials - Suitable only for polyamide-based materials and PETG. Other materials tend to detach mid-print
• No need for a glue stick - Can be damaged with IPA and acetone
• Can be cleaned just with water

Notes:

Consumable parts, such as PEI sheets (smooth, textured, nylon, etc.) are not covered by warranty as the coatings are designed to diminish over time unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship. Cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, cracks or other cosmetic damage is also not covered by the warranty. Only defective sheets on arrival are covered by warranty. As a result of the temperatures to which the plate is exposed during printing, its surface gradually becomes glossier or may develop smaller, duller areas. This visual change does not adversely affect the printing properties and is not considered a reason for a warranty claim.

Note that with the Original Prusa XL, the PA Nylon sheet wear is especially noticeable at the Z probing points, where the nozzle leaves visible marks on the surface. This does not affect the surface adhesion and overall printability. You can examine the marks in our knowledgebase article.

A new batch of the PA Nylon sheet will be released during July / August 2024. The new version will get a slightly rougher surface texture. This change will not affect the print sheet's functional properties. You can examine the changes in our knowledgebase article as well.
