Filaprint bed surface
Hi All
After testing Filaprint as a printing surface I finally finished the report and want to share it with you.
Have a look and see if it is relevant to you.

well judging by your report, you either have a very loose calibration, or that stuff isn't a patch on printbite.
I don't get any corners lifting on anything.
Plus nylon tends to stick much too well.
There do seem to be a lot of half useful printing surfaces around - still yet to see anything as good as printbite.
But love the report :-)

Interesting!
I switched from Printbite to Filaprint as I had way too much trouble getting the first layer to stick. With Filaprint I had a lot less trouble.
Interesting how experiences differ from printer to printer or from user to user.
But loose calibration, yes, that would not surprise me. I am changing my effector every day testing something new. Swapping hot ends, nozzles or even the whole effector. Stress testing an extruder does these things to your printer.

You do need a pretty tight calibration with printbite. These days i just adjust it from the z-offset setting in the slicer.
You do seem to use a lot of very high bed temps as well. I pretty much just use 60c for 90% of filaments and 70c for pet-g.
Never needed to go any higher yet.

Hmm, I could not get ABS to stick on Printbite unless I went to 110C At least.

110° is too high for ABS. I know I sound like a stuck record on this but there physical properties within which we need to operate.
Good job on the report!

Since when is 110 bed temp to high for ABS? This is really what everything defaults to. What physical properties do you mean?

The defaults are set like that for beginners who struggle getting prints to stick on the build plate.
The physical property I mean in this case is the glass transition temperature of ABS which happens to be 105°C. At this point ABS can be easily deformed by gravity. Your HBP should be no higher than 100°C.
