Bambu Lab Smooth PEI Plate Smooth, Matte Bottom Layers. Both Sides. Most Materials.
Smooth, Matte Bottom Layers. Both Sides. Most Materials.
The Bambu Smooth PEI Plate is a flexible, magnetic spring-steel build plate coated with smooth PEI on both sides. It gives printed parts a clean, low-sheen smooth-matte bottom finish with fewer visible layer lines, then pops them off with a simple flex once the bed cools. It runs a wide material range — PLA, TPU, PETG, and higher-temp filaments like ABS and nylon — and because both faces are coated, you effectively get two printing surfaces per plate.

Genuine Bambu Lab Plate. US Stock, Fast Shipping.
The Smooth PEI Plate is an authentic Bambu Lab accessory, supplied and supported by Rev1 Technologies — your authorized Bambu Lab reseller in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Not a third-party clone.
A Clean, Smooth-Matte Bottom Every Time.
The smooth PEI surface is the all-rounder of Bambu’s plates: it leaves a low-sheen, smooth-matte finish on the first layer that hides layer lines and reads as a clean, finished surface. For display models, enclosures, and consumer parts where the bottom face is visible, it produces a more polished result than a textured plate — without any post-processing.
Smooth Surface, Reliable Adhesion.
PEI is the industry standard for FDM bed adhesion because it grips parts well at temperature and releases them cleanly once cool. The Bambu Smooth PEI Plate pairs that reliable grip with a smooth cosmetic finish, and its flexible spring-steel body lets you pop even large, flat parts free with a gentle flex — no scraping, no prying, no damage to the part or the plate.
Coated Both Sides. Magnetic Spring Steel.
The plate is a thin, flexible spring-steel sheet coated with smooth PEI on both faces — so when one side wears or gets tired, you flip it and keep printing on a fresh surface. It seats on the printer’s magnetic heatbed and stays put during printing, then lifts off in one piece for part removal. It’s the same drop-in flex-plate system Bambu users already know, just with the smooth PEI surface.
PLA to Nylon — Use Glue for the Hot Stuff.
The Smooth PEI Plate handles a broad material range: PLA and TPU stick and release beautifully with no prep, and it also runs PETG and higher-temperature engineering filaments like ABS and nylon. One important rule from Bambu: for anything other than PLA — and especially PETG, which can bond aggressively to bare PEI — apply a glue stick as a release layer. That protects the PEI coating and keeps the plate lasting.
Match the Plate Size to Your Printer.
Smooth PEI Plates are offered across Bambu Lab’s lineup — A1 and A1 mini, P1P/P1S, X1 Carbon/X1E, and the newer P2S and H2 series. Each printer family uses a specific plate footprint, so the one thing that matters is choosing the size that matches your machine (and, for the latest printers, the current-generation plate). Tell Rev1 your exact printer and we’ll confirm the right plate before you order.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What finish does the Smooth PEI Plate give?
A smooth, low-sheen matte finish on the first (bottom) layer of the print. It minimizes visible layer lines on the base and produces a clean, finished-looking surface — ideal for display models, enclosures, and consumer parts where the bottom face shows. It’s the go-to all-round Bambu plate when you want a polished bottom without a decorative texture.
Is it coated on both sides?
Yes. The plate is a flexible spring-steel sheet with smooth PEI on both faces, so you effectively get two printing surfaces per plate — flip it when one side gets worn. It mounts on the printer’s magnetic heatbed and flexes to release parts once the bed cools.
Which materials can I print on it?
A wide range: PLA and TPU print with no preparation, and it also handles PETG plus higher-temperature engineering filaments like ABS and nylon. For anything other than PLA — and especially PETG, which can bond very strongly to bare PEI — apply a glue stick as a release layer to protect the coating and make part removal easy.
Do I really need glue for PETG?
Strongly recommended. PETG bonds aggressively to bare smooth PEI and can pull away chunks of the coating on removal, permanently damaging the plate. A thin layer of glue stick acts as a release barrier so the part lifts cleanly and the PEI surface stays intact. The same applies to ABS and nylon — a glue release layer protects the plate and extends its life.
Which Bambu printers is it compatible with?
Smooth PEI Plates are made for Bambu Lab’s A1 and A1 mini, P1 series, and X1 series, with current-generation plates for the newer P2S and H2 machines. The key is size — each printer family uses a specific plate footprint, so the plate must match your machine. Tell Rev1 your exact printer and we’ll confirm the correct plate and generation before you order.
Is this a genuine Bambu Lab plate?
Yes. Rev1 Technologies is an authorized Bambu Lab reseller, and this is a genuine Bambu Lab accessory — not a third-party clone. Genuine plates matter for correct fitment on the magnetic bed, consistent adhesion, and predictable finish quality.
