The PEI plate is being returned as defective - it doesn't work on my other printers, either. I've ordered a new stock mat that will hopefully correct any of the weird leveling issues I've had.
## Problems?
### Printer is stuck on a blue screen
Occasionally when firing up the printer, it gets stuck on a blue screen (the blue screen typically stays up for 1-2 minutes while the Pi is booting into the OS) and will not finish booting. Unplug power from both the Pi and the printer, then plug them back in. I've had to do this twice on at least one occasion - I think it has something to do with 5v backpowering [which looks pretty simple to resolve with a piece of electrical tape.](https://community.octoprint.org/t/put-tape-on-the-5v-pin-why-and-how/13574)
### <s>Non-functional/detrimental bed meshes
Bed meshes don't seem to work properly. I can get wildly different bed meshes without ever moving or adjusting anything on the machine, leading me to believe that the BL-Touch probe might have some issues (or may not be a genuine part, I'm not certain.) It might be worth looking into something else for Z probing. </s>
Bed meshing was working, it's just that I'm unused to sprung beds. Enabling adaptive meshing with KAMP has resolved this issue.
### <s>Bad PEI plate, maybe
I can't get anything to stick to the PEI plate I bought, which sucks because it's the ONLY build plate I bother using on other builds.</s>
The PEI plate is defective in some way. It's going away.
### <s>No webcam
For whatever reason, I curently cannot get the webcam working.</s>
I had a bad webcam. Dang you, trash pile.

As an alternative, there are plenty of Pi-specific touchscreens that can also be used -- this is just a brand I know and liked.
