After 5 years my trusty old textured plate is wearing out and I’m in the market for something new. I print PLA, PETG, ABS, and TPU. There are so many choices now and I need some guidance!

    The textured Prusa version is still best IMO, (for a textured sheet). I have one of the textured aliex bronze looking plates and the Prusa PEI film/Textured powder coat/Smooth powder coat. I pretty much only use the textured(s) for PETG. I use glue stick or modge podge 10:1 spray for ASA ABS and PC. Texture is irrelevant with adhesive and adhesive cleans off best from the smooth powder coat sheet. That is my universal go-to. I don’t like printing PETG in general unless I design for it specifically.
