The TAZ PEI Sheet from LulzBot is a direct replacement for the PEI (polyetherimide) print surface on their TAZ 6, TAZ 5, TAZ 4, TAZ 3, TAZ 2, and TAZ 1 3D Printers. When properly cleaned and heated to the recommended temperatures, your print will adhere well to the print bed during printing and release from the print bed once cool. This PEI sheet has functional dimensions of 11.8 x 11.8", with additional material in the width and length to allow users to trim in order to fit their product, while also allowing for a more aligned and finished edge.

The purchase price is just the entry fee. Ongoing costs for filament (plastic), replacement nozzles, build plates, and electricity can add up quickly depending on usage volume.
