  "useCaseLabel": "Troubleshooting",
  "updated": "2026-10-16",
  "shortAnswer": "Use a smooth PEI sheet for PLA, textured PEI or glue as a release for PETG, and glue with the hot bed on the spool's row for ABS, ASA, nylon, and PC.",

    "A comment on r/prusa3d 1j75sj3 says that person prints PLA on the smooth sheet, and uses Vision Miner's Nina polymer adhesive for textured PLA and for large PETG prints to limit warping. The name is copied from that comment. This page does not add a price or a shop link.",
    "The editorial summary says an engineering plate plus glue for ABS, nylon, and PC. The catalog does not store plate names. Glue for those materials is the bed-adhesion process. The engineering-plate SKU is not in these rows.",
    "The supplied comments on r/BambuLab 1ipuusy are about weed-whacker filament history. They are not a plate recommendation."
  ],
  "pros": [
    "Smooth PEI for PLA is both the summary and a supplied comment.",
    "Bed temperatures stay on the spool. The plate choice does not rewrite them."
  ],
  "cons": [
    "No ranked row stores a build-plate type. Reading the table as a PEI shopping list would add a column the catalog does not have.",
    "r/3Dprinting 1ipv1nl and r/FixMyPrint vkx7qt are in the bank without a supplied excerpt, so this page does not quote them."

  "community": "The editorial summary says smooth PEI for PLA, textured PEI for PETG or glue as a release, and an engineering plate plus glue for ABS, nylon, and PC. A comment on r/prusa3d 1j75sj3 matches the PLA half: that person prints PLA on the smooth sheet, and names Vision Miner's Nina polymer adhesive for texture on PLA and for large PETG prints. The bed-adhesion guide already says glue stick for PETG, ABS, ASA, and nylon, and that PETG can weld to smooth PEI. This page does not add a plate SKU or a weld temperature the catalog does not list.",

      "q": "Does the catalog name a PEI plate for each filament?",
      "a": "No. Bambu PLA Basic, PETG HF, ABS, and ASA list bed temperatures and do not list a plate. Smooth PEI for PLA, and textured PEI or glue for PETG, are the process in the first sentence and on the bed-adhesion guide."

    {
      "q": "What glue does the Prusa-thread comment name?",
      "a": "Vision Miner's Nina polymer adhesive, for PLA when that person wants texture and for large PETG prints to limit warping. The bed-adhesion guide's glue stick is the separate general step for PETG, ABS, ASA, and nylon. Neither one replaces the bed range on the spool."
