Numbers on textured sheet: what are they?  

RE: Numbers on textured sheet: what are they?

I think it is batch numbers. On mine I have WA-11 (old very early version) and TF-26 (new - just got it). The TF-26 has a finer and better surface.

RE: Numbers on textured sheet: what are they?

Mine says WA-15.

If I had to guess, I would speculate that WA is the code for the manufacturer or supplier and 15 is the batch or lot number.

Also, it's apparent that I got one of the 'good' ones, from the complaints of some who swear there is no way they can get theirs to work as expected.

The newer ones have a different texture: the old ones has larger gaps between bumps on the sheet, but the new ones have small gaps between them.

That depends on what filament you are printing.

I like the new ones with finer texture as it looks better on smaller finished parts.

The textured plate for my Mini has even finer surface structure, but no "build number". I would really like that for my MK3s.

I mostly prints in PETG.

PETG works well with the smaller bumps.  I have to agree with this.

I am still waiting for the new "satin" version - been on the notify e-mail list since before Christmas...

Think that version will be my favorite for small to medium sized PETG prints, but time will tell if I get hands on a sample to test.
