Comment on Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all?

I had issues with mine, nothing was sticking to it causing 100% failures. I forgot where I read it but I ended up scrubbing it good with one of those slightly abrasive green pads in warm dawn dish soap, drying it with a clean microfiber cloth and putting it on the bed with the heat set to 60c for a few minutes. It now works extremely well with pla or petg, I just wipe it down with a bit of 90% alcohol between prints. Never had any issues with the smooth and satin sheets.

I did a similar thing with all my sheets - run over them with super high grit (400/800) sandpaper once or twice, clean with IPA and paper towels and since then I’ve never had any issues with prints not sticking

Kitchen sink washed and rinsed. Water run as hot as I can get it this time of year. Drain plug installed, textured sheet washed with a fresh green Scotchbrite pad under hot water and Dawn dish soap. Each side scoured in horizontal strokes, vertical strokes, diagonal top-left to bottom-right strokes, diagonal top-right to bottom-left strokes, in counter-clockwidse circles in horizontal strokes, and clockwise circles in vertical strokes. Repeated 3 times each side. Dried with laundered microfiber cloth. Placed on printer heat bed and heated to 60C for 5 minutes per side.

This makes the 4th, 5th and 6th time this sheet they tell you not to submerge in water has been washed in a sink full of soap and water.

Brand new spool of Printed Solid Jessie PETG filament loaded, corresponding filament preset selected in slicer. Tool caddy with assistant discs at sharp corners sliced, sent to printer, Z offset set at -0.025mm, 1 glencairn of small batch 90 proof straight bourbon poured…

  Seems like great success? If so, great. The only things about your routine I would change is to not submerge, not because that’s bad but because who wants to obsess over cleaning their sink first, and use paper towels to dry. You want to make sure no films are transferred to the bed.

  Dried with laundered microfiber cloth.
  
  You don’t use fabric softener or dryer sheets, do you? If you do, your cloth has a layer of wax on it that acts as a release agent on your bed.

    Not on towels, no.

  With all the scrubbing you did, I’d start to think you may have stripped the surface of its coating

    Well, if it’s destroyed it’s destroyed. It wasn’t working worth a damn so if I’ve killed it, who cares?

  It seems the only thing you can improve at all is scotch instead of bourbon. :P

    What is real? How do you define real?
    
    I mean, I haven’t had the torque wrench calibrated a split second before the wrench was applied to the faucet handle by state and federal members of the Department of Weights And Measures, but the print bed is hot to the touch when it’s finished printing, yet it doesn’t burn my skin like the one time in A&P school when I set my welding filler rod down over my pliers, then reached to pick up my pliers, burned my thumb on the welding rod and smelled it before feeling it because at the temperature steel melts your nerves die faster than they transmit pain signals…I strongly hypothesize my bed heater is functioning correctly.
