I got a flex plate. 0 issues so far.

The flex plate makes it 1000x easier to remove the print, but I had an issue with it coming off the magnet a tiny bit when pulling off the FEP and sliding laterally a bit causing layer shift. It needs some little 90⁰ tabs on the sides to keep it aligned with the plate.

I haven't experienced that. How big is your bed.

Can we get a link? I'm interested in this.

Idk what this guy is using, but I've installed wham bam flex plates on 2 large resin printers and I consider it almost a requirement. It makes print removal super easy and installation is real easy.

No the person you replied to but I have the one from https://whambam3d.com/collections/fbs-for-resin and love it

I got this one, but they need some significant sanding, otherwise nothing will stick to them. They're very cheap with worldwide free shipping, though.
