Well, I’ve been using PEI surfaces for nearly two years now. Heat passes through both the double sided adhesive and the PEI (plastic) sheet fine, and I put it on glass plate to boot. You need a good adhesive to hold it flat because the part will try to pull it up and I’ve had it pull it from under several clips too when I allowed the adhesive to weaken.
@Matthias_Lewen-Riege how is it holding up for you?
@Thomas_Sanladerer now that I learned my lesson with the buildtak, I know how to handle the coropad with a little bit more care, so it looks like on day one (which isn’t that long ago, though ;))
The sticker itself seems a bit thinner than the buildtak, but once it’s glued to the base, it behaves pretty much the same.

I use 3dlac on glass and only have to top up every 5 or 6 prints
First off, @Thomas_Sanladerer , I would like to thank you for your extensive help through your videos when I was putting my first printer kit together a few years ago. And now that I painstakingly made it through the “oneup” kit and actually got it to print okaayyyyish Lol I’m glad I started that way, because it taught me loads about how 3d printers actually work.
I just re-watched your firmware basics video and I was wondering if you could cover the firmware differences between simple Cartesian printers and CoreXY and Delta printers. I understand there physical principals of motors moving synchronously to move in a straight line what I don’t understand is the changes made in firmware to compensate for this.
I’m in the process of building a large CoreXY but I’m going to need to set up the firmware but that is the only hang up in having.
@Brandon_Scott the firmware has to have a mode for corexy. If you don’t see one offered in the configs, you might need to find a more recent copy of the firmware or look for a different firmware type.
@Jeff_DeMaagd after that configuration change in firmware is there any other settings like jerk or acceleration that will need to be adjusted differently than on a usual Cartesian I’m well acquainted with a Printrbot play type movement but I’m wanting build one with core xy
I use Glass Build Plate Wizard it works on alluminiun too. removing the prints are really easy.
