Upgraded my Voxelab Aquila today to a PEI bed

My Voxelab Aquila came with a standard glass printbed. So far I thought I had no issues. Recently I thought I will printing PETG a try. Result -> no chance to get that print from the bed without damaging one of both (of course I let I cool down first). But even before I had more and more adhesion problems. So after a few friends suggested I gave the magnetic PEI printbed a try and so far I have to say I am pretty happy with it. Prints stick good and come out great. Should have done that already a while ago. Oh and because I was already working on it I changed the bed leveling springs to rubber buffers. Seems a lot more sturdy now.
Not exactly. It comes with a magnetic sticker that you simply stick on the metal bed. And then you can magnetically attach the PEI Sheet. Was absolutely easy. You will obviously have to level the bed afterwards, as the PEI Sheet and magnetic sticker are smaller than the glass bed. But overall pretty easy to do.
Oh I see, still not too bad
