Platen made of spring steel, covered on both sides with powder-coated PEI. It has a satin surface with fine texture, which provides optimal adhesion when using PLA and PETG filaments. It can also be used to work with ABS, ASA, FlexFill 98A, PC (in most cases without the use of separator - eg glue). It is mounted on a magnetic heating table 3D printer. The product is an original Prusa consumable part. It is compatible with the following Prusa printer models: MK4, i3 MK3, i3 MK3 S, i3 MK3 S+ and MK2.5, MK2.5 S.
PEI plates are a consumable part of 3D printer and are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, because the feature of their coverage is a gradual wear. The exception is when the product defect occurred due to a manufacturing or material defect. Cosmetic damage including scratches, dents, cracks and others are also not covered by the warranty. Only discs delivered with manufacturing defects are covered by the warranty.

Directions for use
- Do not use acetone to clean the plate. It causes microcracks on the PEI surface, damaging it

- Requires changing Live Z values if another type of plate was previously used in the 3D printer
- The satin surface of the plates is very delicate. Do not use sharp tools to peel off finished models
