I’ve had little issue with my second SuperTack Plate having used the first one to learn.
I’m burning 5W/H having established the lowest temperature to print which is 30C, and now to the cleaning.
Without going into the tech mind that led to this experiment I washed the plate with super cold water and liquid dish soap.
method…
1, use a sponge that is either new or rinsed out in hot water to get rid of any grease.
2, Run the cold tap over the plate to make sure it’s below room temperature, this will ensure the surface pores close.
3, Squirt some liquid soap and using a wet sponge bring up a lather all over the plate you may need to add cold water again.
4, Super critical, only rinse under very cold Tap, do not rub the plate let the cold water run the lather off. The water should run off without sticking to the plate, if any areas are retaining water, keep the tap running over that area.
5, Critical, do not wipe the plate with anything, shake the plate and only very lightly dab any droplets with kitchen towel.
6, Bring the print bed to 30C and leave the plate to dry…
I noticed that the plate looks like new again and that areas that had had prints and left a surface residual disappeared.
I’m hoping that someone struggling with their SuperTack will test out this experiment and report their findings in order to verify this.
