Back in Part 33 I’d added a nice, perfectly flat mic6 aluminum tooling plate as my bed. And as a super flat surface, it’s been great. Later, I added a piece of PEI to the top which in general, is a great surface to print on.
The issue , is that I have an inductive probe. And these probes are designed to detect ferrous metals, like steel, not aluminum. Because of that, with the PEI sheet on top, the probe was nearly 1mm from the top of the sheet. Which caused various print failures over time, when some bit of plastic would ‘wick up’ while being printed, harden that way, and the probe would catch it.
