Both surfaces comprise of the same PEI material, but differ in how they are manufactured. This difference allows us to offer two different surface finishes, while also catering to a wider range of 3D printing materials. Combining them into one, double-sided flex plate gives you the choice of either finish just by flipping the plate over, no re-leveling needed!
