Huh, that’s strange. Seems to work fine for me.
Is it still down for you?

It is working now! But the plate is sold out.
I probably should wait to post about my newest build plate until I’ve tried it with all of my commonly used filaments. So far I’ve only used it with ASA but it works so well I’ve already ordered another for my Zero and one for my K1. With ASA at a bed temp of 80 C adhesion is good, better than the stock textured PEI at 110 C and parts release cleanly after partial cooling. It has a micro texture that gives parts a smooth bottom surface which doesn’t impact the assembly of tightly toleranced parts unlike the stock textured plate. At 100 C adhesion is amazing but parts don’t release easily even after full cooling and I expect repeated use at that temperature or higher may lead to rapid wear and degradation of the plate. I expect it will work excellently for PLA, PETG and TPU although it won’t bother me if it doesn’t as I have other good enough options for those. I’m hopeful it will also be great for PA and PC, filaments I rarely use but might use more if they become easier.
The plate is for the Bambu A1 Mini and here it is unmodified in use on my Zero. I put it on backwards which means a few millimeters of the back edge have cut outs and should not be used. Unfortunately the plate would need an edge trimmed to fit side ways to enable the Zero’s full print bed to be used.
The plate is by Comgrow but curiously I have not seen it on either the Comgrow or Sovol webstores. I found it on Amazon:

@Lion nice job cutting that plate. I cut a plate for my K1 to fit it on my Zero. Fortunately I did not try to key it or even accurately size it but merely did two mostly straight cuts leaving about half an inch extra on the right side and front of the plate. I did it with a jigsaw and the cuts were ugly but the plate works fine because I did not cut it close.
