RE: The Cryogrip Pro Glacier plate is an excellent cheaper alternative to the Satin plate with one minor caveat on the Core One
It's a bit strange, because I never had this problem with the MINI printer.
Maybe the sheet was well-used by the time you got into PETG, and not squeaky-clean anymore? Or maybe you only printed smaller parts on the Mini?
I actually use the smooth PEI sheet for small PETG parts with a narrow footprint, which don't stick well enough to the satin plate in my experience. No glue stick needed in that scenario -- the parts sit tight during printing and come off without excessive force afterwards.

And I also printed a lot of PETG on smooth surfaces.
I'm not using a mini... but that's exactly what confused me. I've had it on multiple brands of sheets and only recently. I wash the sheets with warm soapy water. Occasionally, I'll use an 100% ETOH or Isopropanol pads to clean between prints, but only one plates that allow for that. Literally damaged a plate removing PETG on it... and tried everything... printing ABS on it, printing ASA on it, warming it up to 100C and then putting it in the freezer, etc. etc.

On Prusa's PA plate has a big, bold warning not to clean with IPA. Can't see why they couldn't do the same with the smooth plate. Anyway, I don't use any Prusa plates anymore they are just not that good. All of my printing is either done on the Glacier or a G10 plate.
As for "it's stated clearly in page X of the printer manual" my response to that is who either reads or remembers this stuff? I don't. I graduated from and Ender 3 with a glass plate to the MK4 that I assembled and by that time I had already switched from PLA to PETG. I got a PETG part stuck on the smooth PEI sheet (got it off without ripping the covering). After that I researched it and bought some glue stick.

Yeah, so in the middle of this...

It shows a graphic that tells you what you can and cannot print on their sheets and what needs glue. Note that the textured PEI sheet with PETG does not require glue... but I have managed to destroy it with Overture PETG and no gluestick.

I had the exact opposite problem with the Prusa textured PEI sheet. I could never get anything to stick to it. It was horrible.

I like the textured PEI for making signs... with PLA... that's a winner.
The overture PETG is some form of evil anti-textured PEI sheet formulation... it's SUCKs for coming off. My favorite sheet is the textured spring steel sheet.

There is a textured sheet that works really well for me. It was a no-name brand I picked up on Amazon for $19.

for my core one I got a couple of Cryo grips glaciers and they worked like a champ. I really had no problems printing just about anything on them.
however when I originally bought the printer, I bought every freaking plate they had just in case.

🤣 Yup.... Did the same... And I had to dig them out of the closet for this photo. As of now I only use the Cryo and G10 sheet.
