Flexible magnetic build plate

[PJPickard]

Is anyone using one of these? I'm starting to print a lot directly on the build plate and removing the prints is difficult at times. Is this a good product or not really worth it?

If it's anything like the flexible build plate on the Prusa printers, I'd say it's certainly worth it. It's nice to remove the plate, give it a little flex to help the parts pop off.

Link to a product would be quite helpful to others.

I haven't seen a need yet. I worry about the plate sliding, moving while printing. The only thing holding them in place is the magnets and I have seen multiple reports of prints that were not evenly distributed causing the plate to slide. If the plate was keyed someway, I would be a lot more comfortable with it.

Thanks, Tony, my thoughts exactly.

Yeah everything I've seen on Facebook says to stay away from them.

Oh excellent! Another way to f up my prints!

Well the idea of it sounds good and when I first saw them I wanted one, but over time saw people having a bad time with them.

I would hesitate before adding another variable to the black art of 3d printing.
