| The black sheets used as print beds are made of polyetherimide (PEI) glass fabric composite material. This material composition is highly resistant to a lot of solvents. It is particular compatible with acetone and isopropylalcohol.\\ If you experience insufficient adhesion of the printed objects to the print surface during the first prints, it is advisable to thoroughly clean the print bed once with an acetone-soaked lint-free cloth.\\ For further use, regular cleaning is usually not necessary. However, it should be ensured that the surface is always free of grease (i.e. fingerprints). Should grease residues on the surface lead to poor adhesion, the print bed can be degreased with isopropylalcohol.\\ After completion of a print proceed as follows: | The black sheets used as print beds are made of polyetherimide (PEI) glass fabric composite material.
