RE: PEI sheet replacement Prusa MK2

The PEI sheets I received from AliExpress are 2 part (adhesive + PEI) so a real pain to apply. I didn't even bother trying.

I've converted to the BuildTak smooth adhesive PEI sheets. They use an easier-to-remove adhesive that will make replacement far less painful. They do leave the notch end uncovered, so watch out for scratching your heated bed surface. I also really like the PrintedSolid spring steel sheet. It's very thin and flexy.

You will have to do a Live-Z calibration when switching between sheets unless they're identical.
