I was wondering why the two-sided PEI plate for the A1 mini isn’t smooth on one side. Given it’s two sided, it would be nice to have the option to just flip the plate to select between either smooth or textured. I couldn’t come up with a heat-transfer related reason given that if one side was smooth, heat transfer, if anything, would be improved over the current plate.

Smooth plates are generally done with stickers. Textured plates are done by powder-coating.
From what I’ve seen, pretty much everyone who makes textured PEI plates does the texture on both sides. I’m guessing that the powder coating process works best when both sides are done.
