Bambu Lab Textured PEI Plate for H2C (FAP035)
The original textured (grained) PEI plate from Bambu Lab (manufacturer code FAP035) is a flexible magnetic print plate designed exclusively for the Bambu Lab H2C 3D printer. The plate combines a flexible steel base and a durable PEI layer with a textured structure, ensuring reliable first layer adhesion and a matte surface for prints.
Key Features
- Original Bambu Lab OEM part – full compatibility with the Bambu Lab H2C 3D printer.
- Textured PEI surface – very good adhesion for most common and engineering filaments.
- Matte bottom surface of prints – the fine texture hides minor imperfections of the first layer.
- Flexible steel plate – after cooling, simply bend the plate and the model releases easily.
- Quick plate swap – magnetic attachment, ideal to have multiple plates for continuous printing.
- Large format tailored to H2C – covers the entire H2C build volume and matches the official build plate dimensions.
- Wide material compatibility – PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA and other engineering materials recommended for textured PEI.
Material and Surface
The base of the plate consists of a flexible steel plate with double-sided magnetic compatibility with the Bambu Lab H2C heated bed. The top working layer consists of a durable PEI surface with a textured structure, which:
- increases first layer adhesion without the need for glues for most materials,
- creates a satin matte, uniform look on the bottom layer of prints,
- is suitable for the high temperatures that the H2C standardly uses for technical plastics.
Recommended Use
The textured PEI plate is recommended especially for:
- PLA and PLA-mods – very easy print start, reliable adhesion.
- PETG / PETG-HF – a good compromise between adhesion and the ability to remove after cooling.
- ABS / ASA – in combination with the H2C enclosed chamber and heated bed.
- Other engineering materials recommended by Bambu Lab for textured PEI.
For very "sticky" filaments (e.g., some PETG blends), it may be appropriate to slightly lower the bed temperature or use a separation layer according to the filament manufacturer's recommendations.
Compatibility
- Compatible devices: only Bambu Lab H2C
- Manufacturer code: FAP035
- Plate type: flexible steel plate with textured PEI layer (textured PEI)
- Attachment system: magnetic, adapted to the original H2C heated bed
The plate is sized directly for the H2C print area, so you can just take it out of the packaging, place it on the bed, and start printing without any modification of dimensions or profiles.
Advantages of Having Multiple Print Plates
Using multiple plates with the H2C brings:
- Higher productivity – while a print on one plate cools, you can print on the second one.
- Different surfaces for different materials – e.g., a combination of textured PEI / engineering plate.
- Backup in case of damage – original plate as a replacement for a worn or scratched piece.
Maintenance and Care
For long life of the PEI surface, we recommend:
- Regular cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove grease and residues.
- Occasional thorough washing with lukewarm water and dish soap, followed by complete drying.
- Avoid sharp tools and severe mechanical scratching of the surface.
- Follow the recommended bed temperatures and settings in Bambu Studio profiles for "Textured PEI".
With proper care, the textured PEI plate offers a very long service life even with intensive use in a production environment.
Who is the Product Suitable For
- Owners of the Bambu Lab H2C who need an original replacement print plate.
- Users who want a second bed for faster swapping of prints.
- Printers working with technical plastics who appreciate the combination of high adhesion and a matte surface.
Thanks to official dimensions and certified compatibility, this plate is the safest and most reliable choice for the Bambu Lab H2C compared to non-original alternatives.
