In this video I test 3 different build plates on the FlashForge AD5X and focus on one thing that matters most, first layer adhesion. I run the same simple test print on each plate, compare how well they grip, how easy they release, and what the bottom finish looks like.
I also cover two common 3D printing myths. First, do you really need a glue stick for reliable prints. I show that if your first layer settings are dialled in and the plate is clean, glue is often not needed at all. Second, the idea that touching the plate with your fingers will ruin built adhesion. I do a real world touch test and show what actually happens.
If you are using the AD5X and not sure which plate to use, or you are fed up of fighting first layers, this should help you get consistent results without the mess.
