Hello, I finally got around to testing out the PEI texture plate today for the first time as I have been using the cool plate for months. The test print I currently have printing is using the generic pla filament profile which has a bed temp of 35. I see the bed however is heated up to 55 which I am guessing is normal for the PEI Textured? Also, if I remember correctly once you get past 45 the chamber fan goes full board so I am guesing the increased bed temp is the reason why the chamber fan is running at 100%?
So my question is, when printing normal PLA is it necessary for the PEI to be heating up to 55 rather than the standard 35 and is it necessary for the chamber fan to be running at 100%?
I can at least tell you that the chamber fan can be lowered to 70 or even 50% without issues, as long as the ambient temperature isn’t too high. I don’t think 55 is needed for PLA, but I haven’t seen a problem with it.
with textured PEI you should pick the temp thats requested for your filament (usually 50C - 60C) and than you should not need any glue, for me best results for PLA and PETG is with the high temp PEI Plate.
but at least on my side you can easly turn down the chamber fan to 70% or even 50% when the top lit is open or removed
but yeah would be nice if the slicer would allow to set the chamber fan in the profile
