"Handling" Hot Build Surfaces
So when you use a silicone platform for the heated build stage, the heat doesnt go all the way to the edges and corners of the stage (the materials low conductivity which protects you from the 3 A electricity flowing is also the property that inhibits heat conduction laterally). This has a disadvantage in that effective build surface area is decreased, but a minor perk is that you can handle the stage with your hands by holding at the corners. So tonight we realized that the 4″ putty knife ...
