Snapmaker U1 Metal Plate – Black PEI

Original metal PEI plate for the Snapmaker U1 3D printer with a black PEI surface. It provides excellent first layer adhesion, fast heating, and very convenient print removal thanks to the flexible steel plate.

This plate is designed specifically for the Snapmaker U1 printer (270 × 270 mm) and replaces or complements the original build plate supplied with the printer. It is ideal as a spare part, a backup surface for quick swapping between prints, or as a special surface for everyday reliable printing.

Main advantages of the Snapmaker U1 metal PEI plate

• Excellent first layer adhesion The black PEI surface ensures reliable anchoring of prints, especially for common materials like PLA, PETG, TPU, PCTG and other recommended filaments.
• Easy print removal The flexible steel plate allows you to gently bend the plate after cooling and thus “pop off” the model without using a spatula. This minimizes the risk of damaging the prints and the plate surface.
• Fast and even heating Metal (stainless) steel in combination with the PEI surface offers good heat transfer from the heated bed. The printing surface heats up faster and more stably, which shortens the print preparation time.
• Durable and double-sided surface The plate has a PEI coating on both sides (double-sided PEI), so if one side wears out, it can simply be flipped and continued to be used. This extends the life of the plate and saves costs.
• Perfect compatibility with Snapmaker U1 Dimensions, thickness, and material are optimized directly for the CoreXY Snapmaker U1 printer. The plate is ready for immediate use on the original magnetic bed of the printer.

Recommended use and maintenance

• Always check that the surface is clean and degreased before printing (e.g., isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth).
• For PLA and PETG, a release agent is usually not needed; correct first layer calibration is sufficient.
• Avoid cleaning with aggressive solvents or abrasive agents that could damage the PEI layer.
• If adhesion is too high, let the plate cool down completely – most prints will then release much more easily.
• Do not exceed the recommended maximum heated bed temperature set by the printer manufacturer.
