Hint: Moving to flexible build plate for D3D Universal for easy part removal, using PEI or Buildtak for printing without heatbed. One mm should do it - around 0.04 inch or 1 mm. See McMaster below.
Options
- 120C - [1]
- 80C - [2]
- Magnetic plate for 105C is cheap, but textured spring steel PEI surface is not at $30 minimum - [3] - + PEI spring steel sheet - [4]
- 6x6" spring steel is $2 for 6"x6" sheet - [5]
Notes
- Buildtak does not provide enough adhesion for ABS without heat - [6]
- But it recommends no heat with PLA
- User review says works without heat all the time for PLA and PETG - [7]
PEI and No Heat
- Plenty of use cases for using PEI without heat - [8]
PEI
Spring Steel
- Assortment of thicknesses from Amazon - [11]
- Thicker spring steels - 2 or 10' long strips - around 0.04" - https://www.mcmaster.com/spring-steel
- Spring steel plate is cheap at $3 for a 6"x6" plate from Amazon, 0.01" thick - [12]
- 0.012" or 0.3 mm thick is $2 for a 6x6" plate at McMaster. [13]. Printerware is 0.6 mm - [14]
