Thanks for the detailed review! I am honoured by your dedication to this project and I'm so sorry it didn't work out. I agree that the other plates can be a nightmare, we had lots of issues in the beginning as well. We clean them with dish soap before every print but what I think ultimately made a difference is to increase your temperature- I would suggest 60 degrees for PLA. PLA is the only material we have printed on it (I apologize that my description doesn't specify which filaments are in the picture). If you are wanting to use PETG I recall reading that it is extremely difficult to print that properly on those other plates and so it may be better to try PLA instead if you want to use the patterned plate. The PETG pinwheels I made were only ever done on the textured plate. Basic PLA does bend well though if you feel like trying again :). I think there is an issue with manual supports transferring or populating in print profiles as I have gone to print other people's stuff and had no supports show up when they should have been there as well. When I open it now I do see that no supports show up but I am pretty sure they did originally, so I will attempt to add them again and reupload (thanks for pointing that out!). Personally, I find the skirt helps a bit with those non-Bambu plates because you will be immediately able to tell whether your print is going to stick or not, plus it does often seem like the extra slow lap results in a cleaner line by the time it gets to the actual print. This was my first attempt at a kit card and I had no reference for how thick to make the connector so I guessed :)- all I thought was it had to be strong enough to remove from the plate in one piece but easy enough to cut. The leaves were actually a last minute decision to make the handle less boring so they are definitely a rough design and can be improved. The overall sizes were limited to what would fit in the kit card basically and I agree that a larger fan would be nice. Now that I know there is some genuine interest in this item, I will see what I can do with your recommendations. Thanks again for your review.

Ahh I see, I'm also a newbie in 3D printing anyway, so I didn't know if the support may lose from uploads. I tried to make a manual support using a cylinder (first time trying to add support so I could have done something wrong or unoptimal), it seems fine in my uploads (no offense, but if you don't like it I would be more than happy to take it down). Textured PEI was definitely much more sticky as my experience, and after printing many plates, it's getting difficult to remove thin layers now - not sure if the plate got degraded or it was because of PETG. In fact, I had to use scrapper very carefully to remove residule which I normally very reluctant to doing so (afraid it will damage the plate). This was also one of the reasons to buy a new board, apart from the beautiful texture. In fact, your print inspired me a lot to find alternative plates and now I learnt the texture could be very interesting other than boring flat or rough surface only. The reason of using PETG was worrying if the PLA is bristle in comparison. My kid just turned one year old, who haven't learnt how to use the hands properly. He never able to grab things gently (so far) and I wish the print could last more than a couple of days :) I know PETG is much more difficult to print, and had some bad experience. The first time I printed was using eSUN PETG, which was sticks the nozzle and leave traces everywhere. So I bought Bambu materials instead, but the default settings never worked - I had to increase the temperature from 255 (default) to 265 degree C to get proper extrusion (260 is the bare minimal). I don't know if it made the material stick to plates stronger but at least I was able to print. It still gives traces and mess but at least the quality is not unacceptable. Never knew if the skirt can be used to test the stickness but it was a good point! I will try increasing plate temperature in future prints to see if it helps PETG to stick to the fancy plate. Regard to the size, I don't know the size of kit card (I probably don't have it locally), but my main point was the proportions of fan and handle. To me, the handle seems too long for the fan, it more like a flower than a pinwheel, so I used only one stick without leaves instead. Probably shorten it 1/3 may have better proportion? Also, have you tried to make the leaves as thin as the fan, and a bit thicker for the veins (e.g., 2 layers for the leaf, 3-4 layers for the vein), so we can use a knife to scrube the backside of the leaves and make it curly to mimic the nature better, it could be interesting to my point of view - I never tried so don't know if it's actually possible. Apologies if those discussions go off-topic too much. PS: sorry for my English as a non-native speaker, and thanks a lot for your reply (I wasn't expecting it, especially that quick).

I'll send you a message to continue this so we don't fill up the comment area too much haha

Thanks for the rating, I'm so glad you liked it!
