PlateCool Frame – Cooling Frame for Build Plates
Print finished? Plate out, onto the PlateCool Frame – let it cool down, PEI stays happy. 😄
"This design became possible after I involuntarily 'converted' a textured PEI into a smooth plate." 😅
You know it: print is finished, part looks good... and then the voice in your head whispers: "Pull it off. Now. Immediately."
And bam – scraper action, scratch drama, PEI offended. 😅
The PlateCool Frame is your parking spot for hot build plates: plate out, place it on, let it cool down in peace – while the next plate is already working overtime in the printer.
Why you want this:
- Many parts detach almost by themselves after cooling down (magic of physics ✨)
- Less "force" = longer lifespan for your coating
- Ventilated sides help with cooling
- 5 rubber buffers underneath: non-slip & table-friendly
- 4 holes for hanging: because workshop walls always have too few holders anyway 😄
⚠️ Important: Plates can be very hot – so please be careful when removing and use PETG or higher for the frame. Fingers are "multi-material", but difficult to calibrate.
If the PlateCool Frame saves you from scratches, scrapers, and curses:
a Like, Comment, or Make from you would be awesome. 😉
