Looks good. Seems like you’ve got a really good fit. Looks promising.
How will you attach them to the plates?
I deliberately chose MDF (not plywood/multiplex) because it’s more stable than natural wood and I have gotten the water proofed version so that the humidity in the air would have little to no effect.
I have been using it as a base for my print sheet for a few weeks now (without the quick switch part) and it has proven very stable for me.
Also MDF and not plywood/multiplex because if I want to mill the top surface flat, plywood would lose a lot of it’s advantages as you’re peeling of layers and it wouldn’t work very well either I think.
I’m aware of that. However, the magnets I’ve gotten are rated up to 80°C. and there will be 18mm of MDF in between. So I don’t think I’ll get close to that 80°C that easily. I’ve been printing quite a lot the last weekend with a bed temperature of 90°C and if I measure with an IR-thermometer at the bottom of the plate it doesn’t get above 40°C. So I don’t think it would be an issue.
The same goes for the plastic you’re using as well btw, that too loses strength at those temps
