PEI Plate 310x310mm dual-sided, textured and smooth vs ELEGOO Saturn 3 Ultra Build Plate – 4-point leveling, laser surface
Overall winner: PEI Plate 310x310mm dual-sided, textured and smooth
Key Differences
HICTOP's PEI plate is dual-sided (textured high-adhesion on one side, smooth on the other) and targets general FDM filaments like PLA/PETG on a 310x310mm surface, making it more versatile; ELEGOO's build plate is a laser-carved, non-deformable aluminum alloy designed specifically for the Saturn 3 Ultra with a four-point leveling system, offering greater rigidity and integrated leveling but less broad compatibility
