Heads up, PEI sheets are great because you can take them off and flex them a bit to pop parts off, but it is worth noting that PETG (and TPU) can also bond too well to PEI. It depends a bit on the kind and quality of the PEI, but you may still want to use a release layer (I’m partial to washable glue sticks, but everyone has their own personal preferences) just to keep your plate safe.
Comment on Adhered so hard it delaminated the glass.

If you wait a bit for plate to cool PETG just pops off it most of the time.

Good to know, I’ll have to play with it.

The reason I’m not going for pei or any other spring steel sheet is it isn’t flat and warps with temperature. I’d need to compensate for warping and potentially flatten my bed, which all goes away with glass. Additionally, since I’m on ender 5, the weight doesn’t matter, so that is what I use. Also, for me petg is better than pla in almost every way i use the printer, I care about creeping and temperature stability, which makes petg the absolute king. But for some other use cases, other stuff makes more sense.

Hmmm, that doesn’t sound very encouraging haha. Well I’m gonna try PEI anyway, see if I can keep it flat enough.
