2nd print with Zebra Plate
Again, excellent results!
I printed a rectangular box with a separate top. The box & top have rounded corners. In the past, even using blue tape, a part this size would most likely have had some lifting of the corners due to cooling shrinkage. But this did not happen with the Zebra plate.
Pics 1 & 2 show the box and top when they finished printing. Pic 3 shows the Zebra Plate after removing the top; the brim is still on the plate. Pics 4 & 5 show the results (topless & with top.)
I mis-judged the amount of filament needed to print the box so had to switch to a different color for the top. I think that made the whole thing look a bit better.
Overall I'd say everyone who prints PLA or any other material that uses an unheated bed should get a Zebra Plate. It is far superior to glue &/or tape; just the time savings makes it worth the price.

Yes, it actually is pretty amazing. But true nevertheless.
I'm in the US so I ordered the plate direct from the supplier:

The one to order for the Atom2 is the 260mm diameter one. As I showed in a previous post this fits perfectly between the Atom2's 4 printer bed clips.
