What surface to 3D print on...GRP??? - Kevan - 24th-Oct-21

Angus (Makers Muse) is probably my favourite 3D maker dude, today I watched with avid interest about a material he tried for his FDM printers...and it's been around for decades, is cheap and seems to work on all filaments without any fancy dan adhesion enhancers...

I bring you (or rather Angus does)...G10 - The best print surface you've never heard of...

There's a guy (probably multiple guys) that makes flex plates for Prusa machines with a G10 sheet on them, as opposed to PEI.

I've been pretty happy overall with the smooth PEI steel sheets, though I do use the textured sheets for some materials.

It was fascinating to see how printing Nylon generated so much force during contraction that it made a permanent indent in the plate, no doubt the high plate temp had a major influence also.
