Doing test prints on the backs of paper plates. The curve of the plate centers itself on the round platform. Also the plate is sitting a little high so it has room to flex and not damage anything when I adjust the heights. I don’t have to fuss with tape, because I didn’t have any at first. It’s fast and easy to swap in a new plate when stuff sticks to the paper.
It was good to get familiar with the controls and not worry about smashing in the aluminum platform.
I am printing with pla and I don’t have a heated bed yet.
In the photo with the partial tardis, a screw backed itself loose and went amiss.
I have been using copier paper for quite a while now. I use temporary adhesive to hold it down and print away. Easy clean up and definitely not as messy as any of the glue options.
