Thank you very much

!! ATTENTION !!

I've been told that sometimes prints, with Textured PEI plate, tend to stick too much. It's true!

I've printed many to test, and I've learned a few little tricks: besides letting the plate cool down completely, I don't clean it before printing, but rather I dirty it with my hands - the normal oil we have on our hands limits the adhesion of the cover to the build plate - then I use the scraper https://makerworld.com/it/models/88371-bambu-lab-bed-scraper#profileId-1524370) or this one which is lower https://makerworld.com/it/models/12703-bambu-bed-scraper#profileId-12705.
The engineering plate is more suitable for use with TPU, but it doesn't have the texture effect.

I also got better results by lowering the plate temperature. TPU still sticks.
Let me know in the comments if it works well.
Happy printing

After designing the cover for the iPhone SE, and since I am satisfied with it, here is the one for the 16e.
I designed them personally because I realized there were no solutions with Bambu Lab AMS TPU.
The filament is quite rigid, and solutions with classic TPU are not suitable because you can't fit the phone in.
Designs with rigid filaments have shapes that poorly cover the phone, leaving areas exposed to allow it to be inserted.
Then it falls, hits precisely that exposed spot, and breaks!
So I studied a project compatible with TPU for AMS, also to take advantage of the beautiful potential of multicolor prints.
After several hours of design and as many tests, to also make button operability available, I created the solution you see.
Furthermore, I have prepared a suitable hole for thick USB C connectors as well. The previous cover I bought had too small a hole and that was a problem.
I haven't tried it with PLA; if you try it, share it in the comments.
I have provided minimal and easily detachable supports for better printing, but it can also be done without them.
