I have a generic smooth PEI bed and a Bambu PEI textured bed. I've never used this bed material before and so have no experience with it.

Does PEI have a maximum safe usage temperature or at least one that I could reasonably reach during 3D printing on an X1 Carbon?

I don't want to accidentally toast it printing with a high-temperature setting, as there don't seem to be any trips or safeguards against it in the software.

  • For PLA you normally print with a build plate around 60 °C
  • For ABS you normally print with a build plate around 110 °C

The X1 Carbon is given for a max hot bed temp of 120 °C as per the manufacturer specs.

In fact, the PEI material itself can sustain temp up to 170 °C continuously. (Source: Duratron® U1000 PEI data sheet)
