I know the Engineering Plate was discontinued, but what is the best alternative? Thanks!

Iā€™ve printed TPU on a PEI plate for years, never had any issues.

Would you need glue for the PEI bed?

No

Some user say no heated bed, I usually run it at 50*- 60*.

What @lion7718 said.
Also the smooth PEI isnā€™t bad either, no glue.

Textured or smooth PEI plate. But no longer with a bed temp of 50Ā°C to 60Ā°C as it makes it sometimes really difficult to get the print off the bed after printing, especially larger prints. I tried the settings recommended by Bambu: bed temp between 30Ā°C and 45Ā°C and liquid glue or glue stick.

Now I print TPU with a bed temp of 35Ā°C and liquid glue applied to the plate. Works really well and removing the print is much easier.

For further information see ā€œBuild Plate Settingsā€ in the Bambu filament guide.

MY LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE. I bought the smooth PEI for like 40 bucks but I could have just used the textured PEI :frowning:

Alcohol will get stuck TPU off pretty quickly.
