This is really good idea, since I sometimes has kids around (5-14) , that would be very good to have, sure they know not to touch it, but mistakes happens, but this would make them see it better And of course, haha, since I am impatient with removing the prints, for me it would also be good :)
I was hoping it would be cheaper than Prusa Satin sheet. From my experience, Prusa sheets have proven good quality, so I don't see the reason why would Prusa printer owner decide for OSEQ instead. As for "Hot surface" label... let's be honest, is only a "cute" add-on. Still, I welcome OSEQ. I'm sure many of those who use glass surface, will get tempted. Thank you Igor for effort you put into tests.
Me too. When I recorded the video, their website was not finished, I didn't know the price. I agree, it should be noticable cheaper, to motivate the user to move from Prusa. That also another reason to offer different sizes, where user don't have alternatives.
Even if you have a great print surface always use some sort of adhesive as it acts as a barrier to help it release. I use the Dimafix pen, it really is magical stuff because the hotter you print the more it sticks... then when it cools to around 40c its very easy to remove the prints. You can then "replenish" the surface by spraying a bit of IPA onto it and spreading it around with your fingers or sponge. I know that these surfaces should technically work without adhesive but honestly ive had my dimafix pen for almost a year and it gives peace of mind as I have a small business that relies it.
It is not easy to remove it, but not impossible (I did it only once). I used that tool for removing 3d printed part "spatula". Some glue marks will stay on alu plate. They can be removed with IPA (or in rare cases, acetone)
It is less a fight, if you heat the buildplate up to 60-70 C and then use the scraper to remove the magnetic sheet. Be careful to use a glove, if your scraper miss the magnetic sheet... And for the heat too..😉
Why remove the magnetic base? Just put the glass on top. Yeah, it will be a bit less efficient, but if the bottom of your bed is insulated well, then apart from taking slightly longer to heat up, there shouldn't be too much negative effect and you can at least switch easily to other magnetic print surfaces.
Really not fond of the warning sticker. Works fine for prusas or enders that doesn't use the entire bed but for printers that do you lose print area. Not worth losing print area just so you can see that the bed is hot or not.
great to have more options 😁
thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀
Great work as always. Always exciting to see you post a new video!
Thank you for a very in-depth video review! Well done :-)
Fantastic review, thanks!

How hard is it to remove that magnetic sheet of you want to goto back to Glass? Does the adhesive come off clean?
It's a bunch of work to remove the magnetic sheet, the adhesive often is 3M 468mp, that's a b to remove

@@MisterkeTubeWith a magnetic sheet, you cannot lock the glass with the locks, I think.
I would like to buy only the heat changing sticker, so I can use my own sheet.

Thanks for the video!
Will this product hold on the aluminium heatbed?
No. You need a magnetic surface glued to alu (also explained somewhere in video)
What's bad about using ipa on a hot surface? It's nowhere near its ignition temperature
I don't know the exact reason, only there is a big warning message on my Prusa Satin sheet.
ho ordinato il piatto di stampa da loro si sono presi i soldi e non mi anno mandato niente ,non mi anno risposto neanche alle mie email è una truffa
