3D Printer Build Plates
Numerous print beds for ideal filament adhesion
There are now many 3D printer build surfaces: glass plates, PEI print beds and magnetic steel plates are just a few of the numerous options with which you can equip with your 3D printer. In addition to the classic print bed, you can also equip your device with special build plates and sheets, with which the filament adhesion to the printing platform is improved and warping is prevented. To make it easier to remove the print, flexible surfaces can be used, with which the model can be easily removed by bending it.

Selecting the Correct Build Surface for Your 3D Printer
The days of hairspray, glue sticks, painters tape and all the other nonsense are over! A lot of people still use adhesion promoters, however, with the improved build plates we have today there are very few times you actually need them.
I am a firm believer that people have used these products as band-aids to a bigger problem (i.e. unlevel bed, wrong temps, or wrong print speeds). With the data on this website, you should be able to select the build surface that is correct for your application to ensure you have successful prints every time without the messy hairspray.
Besides not being necessary, things like hairspray can build-up on other parts of your printer where you don't want it. Below you will find a guide with common build plates and information on when you should (and shouldn't) be
