Printing on polished stainless steel

thingiverse

I'm excited to share a fresh perspective on the surface we print on. Typically, printing occurs directly onto glass or adhesive-backed pads, but some printers still use tapes. I recently had an epiphany - what if we printed on polished stainless steel? I acquired a 0.5mm thick board, attached ferromagnetic and magnetic foils to it, and was eager to see the results. The effects are remarkably impressive; it's like nothing I've seen before. I applied hegron to the metal sheet and started printing. Removing the printed element is surprisingly effortless - all it takes is a slight bend of the sheet, just as with pei. I highly recommend watching this in action with the sound on for the full experience. I'd love for you to try this out on your own printers and see what kind of amazing results you can achieve. The possibilities are endless with 304 stainless steel as our new printing surface.
