The printer package came with a Textured PEI plate and Smooth PEI plate. I've only ever used the textured plate and for normal matte PLA or for PETG I didn't use glue or anything to make it stick. I even got away with printing with some Bambu PLA Silk on it without glue. However, when I tried to print with some Elegoo PLA Pro, the filament would not stick to the plate. Likewise, when I printed a particularly tall model, the bottom of the model cooled sufficiently to detach while the printer was going at the top.

When I asked my friends [https://porterwestling.substack.com/ Porter] and Chris who have both been using 3D printers far longer than me, they recommended I use either glue or get a different plate. Being particularly lazy, I decided to get the [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9YHHTNP?th=1 Biqu Cryogrip]. Unlike the other plates, this one has some coating that will degrade if you use IPA to clean it, but it works beautifully.

We use it most of the time now.
