Smooth PEI Build Plate, FlashForge AD5X, AD5M

Smooth PEI Build Plate FlashForge AD5X / AD5M

The smooth PEI build plate for FlashForge is an original spare part designed for the FlashForge AD5X and AD5M. It stands out with its perfectly flat and uniform surface, providing optimal contact between the printed part and the build plate, essential for a successful first layer.

Unlike a textured surface, the smooth PEI finish promotes gentle and consistent adhesion, especially appreciated for materials like PLA, PETG, or ABS in certain settings. This finish is ideal when a clean bottom surface is desired or when using filaments that require precise adhesion.

The PEI coating is known for providing reliable hot adhesion, reducing the risk of print lifting during printing. Once cooled, adhesion naturally decreases, making print removal effortless without damaging the geometry. This makes it practical for repeated prints in a continuous workflow.

This smooth plate is robust against repeated thermal cycles and withstands daily use without losing its adhesion properties. It is a smart choice for makers, workshops, and any application requiring a reliable and uniform build surface.

Usage Tips

To get the most from this build plate, clean the surface regularly with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, grease, or filament residues. Avoid metal spatulas that could scratch the PEI — use plastic or silicone tools instead. Finally, always allow the plate to cool completely before removing prints to preserve the coating quality.
