3D printing can be done on various beds, offering unique benefits and challenges.
When it comes to 3D printing, the type of bed you can print on varies.
Options include glass, which provides a smooth finish and even heat distribution; acrylic, which is lightweight and cost-effective; and metal, such as aluminum, which offers excellent heat distribution. Additionally, there are specialized surfaces like spring steel smooth PEI, spring steel texture PEI, polypropylene, and G10, each with its own set of advantages for adhesion and print quality.
