Good video! And a kick in my butt to finally install the PEI-coated aluminium build plate in my UM2 that is laying at home now since half a year...

I've been curious if those non-stick cooking surface companies were going to notice 3D printing and make something equally impressive for our use!

That was an interesting video, I use my wife's hair spray which has worked on all the materials I've tested accept ABS, but I've yet to actually spend time testing ABS.

Re: Build surfaces review
On that topic, any feedback on using carbon fiber plate instead of glass plate?
Or (perforated) glass fiber plates (FR4/G10, ...) ?

Re: Build surfaces review
That's interesting, Amedee... I have fiber plate (G10) I use for the electronics tray for R2, so all the electronics get mounted on that
I never thought about it being a possible print surface

Re: Build surfaces review
I don't now the details (hence my questions) but I have seen pictures of prints where the print was sticking so well to the fiber plate that the plate itself started warping!

Re: Build surfaces review
Try it, experiment, bust a part or two, have fun.
Seriously, how many depend on inductive z-axis homing sensors? Might have to goto a switch or opto instead. Have both...
