RE: Powdered Sheet .. PLA .. Marvin goes for a walk ..
[...] As for BT, yep, I've been using it for a while now. No issues with it, other than - as you said - it can be easily damaged and does eventually require replacement. PETG is my material of choice and some of my parts get REALLY stuck on there.
Do you use any sort of release agent (Windex, glue stick) with PETG on BuildTak? The BT is really grippy, low-maintenance stuff. Before my Prusa textured sheet got its act together, I was seriously thinking about switching to BT on a spring steel sheet until I introduced it to 3DXTech PETG at 270C. To be fair, that same filament did in my 1st PEI sticker sheet.
Started using Windex a month or two ago, but only sporadically. Really made a huge difference. 270C is quite high! Is that one of those specialty filaments that has carbon fiber in it or something?

It is a matte PETG, but 3DXTech is a high-performance filament firm, so I'm sure it's got some of their magic ingredients added as well. It looks great, just very good at getting a death grip on PEI or Build Tak.
