Cool plate supertack I assume you mean given there is an older cool plate available too.
Yeah having the razor blade scraper is a requirement for that build plate to get some types of prints off. I live the plate since I pretty much just don't have to wash it or worry too much about accidentally touching the surface.
Do you use it for every print or do you decide from print to print which plate to use? Have you ever almost damaged a print trying to get it off?
