I got one last week and it’s good, real good. But like too good? So I’ll never have to worry about bed adhesion, which is not a problem very often but is the most common problem on the stock textured PEI plate that the printer comes with. But with the cool plate I definitely don’t have to worry about it. Conversely, I have to worry about getting my prints off the bed without damaging them.
I think what I’m learning is that some prints are more appropriate for one plate and others are better for the other.
Cool plate supertack I assume you mean given there is an older cool plate available too.
Yeah having the razor blade scraper is a requirement for that build plate to get some types of prints off. I live the plate since I pretty much just don’t have to wash it or worry too much about accidentally touching the surface.
Do you use it for every print or do you decide from print to print which plate to use? Have you ever almost damaged a print trying to get it off?
Pretty much every PLA or PETG print unless I want the textured surface of the powder coated sheet.
Large prints seem to peel off fine, and then I use the razor to slice off any smaller prints that don’t peel off when I flex the bed.
Heat the plate up to remove prints
