3D Printer Build Plate
This is a page describing OSE's knowledge about different FFF 3D Printer build plates. Take build plate properties in consideration when choosin 3D_Printer_Auto_Bed_Leveling.
Commercially Available Solutions
BuildTak
A black tape that's easy to apply and remove from any material. Thin enough so inductive sensing is possible if glued to metal surface. Might make prints stick too hard if temperatures are high and first layer gets squashed down too hard.
Geckotek
Sheets of metal with coating. The metal is flexible, which eases print removal. It also allows inductive sensing. We should not use their magnet solution before we know if it would interfere with the inductive sensing.

3D Eez glue
Has some PVA in it.
Build Yourself Solutions
Clean Glass
Borosilicate lasts longer, but common mirror glass works. Needs to be kept very clean.
Clean Metal Sheet
Not very flat in most cases. Spreads heat well.
Printed Circuit Board
Kapton Tape
PVA Based Glue
Blue Painters Tape
