I've had a MK4S for over a week now, and 100% of the prints I've tried to make on the textured sheets have partially or totally failed. PLA prints beautifully on the smooth sheet, but PLA, PETG and ABS, I think I could print on the surface of a 10 inch tank of oil with more success than the textured sheet. Plastic doesn't stick to it. I've wiped it with isopopyl, I've washed it with dawn...it's a bad print surface and I want my money back.

My textured one is perfect for petg, never have sticking issues. With tpu, I need some glue stick as a release agent because it sticks too well.

I only print pla on the smooth sheet, works well.

And have had mixed luck with both petg and pla on the satin sheet.

Have had a very similar experience with the sheets on my mini, and now on the core1
