Anyone use Bambu Lab Cool Plate (sh.itjust.works)

I got one last week and it's good, real good. But like too good? So I'll never have to worry about bed adhesion, which is not a problem very often but is the most common problem on the stock textured PEI plate that the printer comes with. But with the cool plate I definitely don't have to worry about it. Conversely, I have to worry about getting my prints off the bed without damaging them.

I think what I'm learning is that some prints are more appropriate for one plate and others are better for the other.

Yes, look up the literature on the plates. Certain materials as are best on certain plates. It would be best to know what the coating is but I'm guessing Bambu doesn't share that information. But I'm sure they give you a list of suggested materials for each along with temperatures.

I'm only printing in PLA. The material isn't changing, the shape of the thing I'm printing is changing

Generally I put tall models on a high adhesion plate and short models on lower adhesion plates. It's a good enough rule of thumb
