It still prints great, but damn is it not that pretty anymore
And yes, it's still flat
Abrasive blasted for the perfect balanced of destruction free removal and print sticks.

My photon plate is looking a bit jank. My M3 plate still looks lovely though.
Yeah, mines got a few deep gashes in it from printing g217 lmao
G217?
That super clear non-yellowing resin?
Very nice
Most of my gouges came from ABS-like resin as well
Yeah, it comes out real nice and clear with the only downsides being that it sticks to the buildplate like concrete and supports are damn near impossible to remove Had to pull out a rubber mallet to remove a print once
Oof that sounds like a pain
I'll probably still pick some up to give it a try though... someday
I got a flex plate. 0 issues so far.
The flex plate makes it 1000x easier to remove the print, but I had an issue with it coming off the magnet a tiny bit when pulling off the FEP and sliding laterally a bit causing layer shift. It needs some little 90⁰ tabs on the sides to keep it aligned with the plate.
I haven't experienced that. How big is your bed.
Can we get a link? I'm interested in this.
Idk what this guy is using, but I've installed wham bam flex plates on 2 large resin printers and I consider it almost a requirement. It makes print removal super easy and installation is real easy.
The whambam linked below is what I've got on my mars.
No the person you replied to but I have the one from https://whambam3d.com/collections/fbs-for-resin and love it
I got this one, but they need some significant sanding, otherwise nothing will stick to them. They're very cheap with worldwide free shipping, though.
I question your definition of flat.
I'm always using a plastic spatula, so mine is pristine.
No sharp protrusions that could puncture or damage the screen or vat. So I say flat.
I was never successful using a plastic spatula so I used a metal one
The trick is to include a wedge in the base of the print, then you don’t need much force. The standard base plate generated by ChiTuBox does have one already.
