Overall winner: PEI Plate 310x310mm dual-sided, textured and smooth
Key Differences
HICTOP's PEI Plate is a dual-sided 310x310mm sheet offering a textured high-adhesion side and a smooth finish side, and it sits at a more affordable listed price tier. The ELEGOO Saturn 3 replacement is a durable AL6061 aluminum alloy build plate with a laser-carved surface and an easy large non-slip hex leveling screw, but it’s presented specifically for the Saturn 3 and fewer reviews
