Review on Gizmo Dorks Printer Surface Compatible by Michael Powell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect size for CR-10

I have a HICTOP CR-10 clone and a Monoprice MP10 CR-10 clone (kind of horrible firmware). This sheet is perfect. If you choose 305mm or 300mm, with CR-10 you have a gap on the glass plate and with MP-10 you have a bare strip of metal. The PEI film sticks very well at 70°C, if you try it at 30 you might wake up with a bowl of spaghetti. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol or glass towels. If you're reading this during COVID-19, the former is pretty hard to come by. Great sticks, easy to take off, right size - great product. Note that Revain makes this very, very difficult to find. If you look for 310mm you will get a lot of 235mm thick PEI sheet. In fact, the first link I get is for a 127mm x 140mm sheet. Revane, your quest is terrible. Really terrible; you annoy me every time Okay, back to a more pleasant subject: I got a spring steel sheet for the MP10 and this PEI works great for it. The spring steel was much thinner; so thin that the nozzle scratched the original thin PEI film on impact with the bed and by itself during ABL (automatic bed leveling). This sheet was the solution. It's thick enough that you can sand it down a few times with fine sandpaper, although now that I've adjusted the ABL sensor I've had no more problems. (Yes, I manually leveled the bed before printing, but the G29 P1 Marlin code with this firmware version does NOT pay attention to the end stops and happily flexes the Z carriage to try to get the nozzle to the center of the floor press Note that Madagascar, not China, is the nearest landmass, which is the antipode, so the ABL will not advance into China). My 305x305 sheet on my CR-10 has that pesky little 2.5mm strip of glass. around and since I'm "mostly" unemployed during COVID-19, I'll just live with it while I print >$7,000 worth of personal protective equipment for local hospitals. (Donations, I don't get paid for this!) == John ==
