====== Plate Rotation ======
**NOTE: This tip is most-helpful if you print as "grab-able" build plate temperatures (these will vary person to person). If your build plate temp is 110C, //it is probably not a good idea to just grab that when the print finishes.// Please keep safety in mind when working with 3D printers, as far as they've come, they're all still dangerous uncaring machines.**

If you can afford it (or if you can add it to a published [[wiki:wish-lists|Amazon Wish List]], buying a second build plate can shave some time off of your production. Instead of fiddling with:

  * Cooling the whistles
  * Removing them from the plate
  * Testing the whistles
  * Doing inventory
  * Plate-cleaning
  * **And then** starting the next print

You could:
  * Grab the "done" plate and set it aside
  * Put in the spare plate
  * Start the next print
  * Continue fiddling with the "done" plate while your printer zooms in the background!

==== Recommended Third-Party Build Plates ====
//Please add your recommendations here!//
  * Juupine GECO (Amazon: [[https://a.co/d/0dEhoTD|X1/P1/A1]], [[https://a.co/d/5ZUN5WG|H2D/H2S]], others sizes in links): PLA only, but **does not require bed heat** for good adhesion. Useful to reduce energy usage or make your printers not be space heaters (If ambient temperature is <= 20C, heat to at least 20C). Has a finer texture (similar to "satin" plates) than gold TexPEI. Very important to let cool before removing prints - can remove surface if not careful. Do not use brims on this plate.
  * Fysetc Cryonix (Amazon: [[https://www.amazon.com/FYSETC-Printer-Accessories-H2D-Double-Sided/dp/B0F8V187TK|H2D/H2S]], [[https://www.amazon.com/FYSETC-Printer-Accessories-256mm-Build/dp/B0FJ2D4GCQ|X1/A1/P1]]) Has a finer texture (similar to "satin" plates), better PLA adhesion, and less PETG overadhesion than gold TexPEI plates. Can drop PLA bed temps ~10C and retain adhesion
  * Biqu Cryogrip Glacier (Amazon [[https://a.co/d/1IYdjyo|X1/P1/A1]], [[https://a.co/d/7SplFs8|H2D/H2S]], other sizes available in links): Similar to the Cryonix - finer texture, better PLA Adhesion, less PETG overadhesion than TexPEI plates. Can drop PLA bed temps ~10C and retain adhesion. PLA Silks can over-adhere to this plate.
