I just got mine yesterday. I came here to ask, for sure, what side is the build side? I assume its the smooth side? Why is one side soo textured? I plan on printing on it tomorrow.
Thanks again! I can read back through the thread, but I guess I'll just ask here. Where and in what form would you like your feedback?

Textured side
I asked the same question a few pages back.

the principle should be similar as the plate of UP printer with many holes to fix the models while printing, am I right?
How is the thermal conductivity if adding this plate?

Just received my Build plate. Tried a small PLA print on it. First thing I noticed, it was a little hard to get level, since you can't really get a good feel with the "paper" method. After awhile a managed to get it relatively level with corner clamps, little high in the middle. Print sticks well, and comes off easy. But unfortunately there seems to be some productions flaws (air bubbles trapped under what seems to be Skateboard grip-tape?) tried to get most off it out by poking holes and trying to press down the tape again. All in all, nice product if you don't have a heated bed. But if you have a heated bed, I would still just stick to glass. Great customer service though, which is a biiiiiiiiig bonus!
Thanks
Ole

i have noticed some air bubbles forming on some plates, we think its because the printed section gets so hot then expands the air that might be trapped inside.
we are thinking that maybe if we heat the top layer slightly before binding to the acrylic then maybe it will overcome that issue.
thank you for the review

I had a computer got DOA on me so life has been busy. I plan on printing something this weekend, and more thereafter. I usually don't print with a raft because I've found them impossible to remove from the print without destroying the print. I'll try it both ways.
Printer will print perfect...
