Product description

Bambu Dual-Texture PEI Plate for A1 Mini, part number FAP012, combines a gold Textured PEI surface and a charcoal grey Smooth PEI surface in one removable build plate. Designed for a usable print area of 180 × 180mm, its flexible magnetic steel construction supports reliable first-layer adhesion and easier print removal after cooling.

⭐ Two printing surfaces in one plate: Smooth PEI for a clean matte bottom finish and improved Z-axis precision, and Textured PEI for strong first-layer adhesion, a textured finish and easy release after cooling.


✅ Compatible with Bambu A1 Mini with a usable print area of 180 × 180mm.

🔹 This version is specifically sized for A1 Mini and is not the larger 256 × 256mm plate used by A1, P1 and X1 printers.

⭐ Why Choose Bambu Dual-Texture PEI Plate?

🔹 Two surface textures in one plate, reducing the need for separate smooth and textured plates.

🔹 Smooth PEI produces a flat, matte bottom finish and supports improved Z-axis precision.

🔹 Textured PEI transfers a granular pattern to the first layer and provides good first-layer adhesion.

🔹 Prints on the textured side release more easily after the plate cools.

🔹 Flexible magnetic steel construction simplifies installation and removal.

🔹 The gold textured side and charcoal grey smooth side are visually easy to distinguish.


⚙️ Recommended Build Plate Settings

🔹 PLA: Bed temperature 45–65°C; glue is generally not required on either side.

🔹 PETG: Bed temperature 60–80°C; use glue on Smooth PEI. Glue is generally not required on Textured PEI.

🔹 TPU: Bed temperature 35–45°C; use glue on both sides as a release layer to protect the PEI surfaces.

🔹 PVA: Bed temperature 45–60°C; use glue on Smooth PEI. Glue is generally not required on Textured PEI.

🔹 Maximum A1 Mini heatbed temperature: 80°C.

🔹 Nozzle temperature and printing speed depend on the filament and the selected Bambu Studio profile.


💡 Installation and Maintenance Recommendations

🔹 Select the appropriate build plate type in Bambu Studio before printing.

🔹 Align the plate with the rear locating points on the magnetic heatbed and ensure it sits flat.

🔹 Regularly clean with warm water and dish detergent, then dry thoroughly.

🔹 Avoid fingerprints and oily residue, which can reduce first-layer adhesion.

🔹 Never use Acetone, as it can damage the PEI coating.

🔹 Allow the plate to cool before removing prints. Avoid sharp tools that may scratch the surface.

🔹 ABS, ASA, PC and PA are not recommended for the A1 Mini printer.
