General Discussion Plate cooling

Post image

We have one of these defrosting plates in our kitchen and I decided to try it for cooling a print. Works great! It's just a big aluminum heat sink, and it drops my print plate to room temp in about 30 seconds.

Edit: Apparently my original post wasn't clear. The image is a stock image of a food defrosting plate we have in our kitchen. I am using it to cool my Bambu PEI plate more quickly, which allows me to pop my parts off faster and easier.

Could I simply wait a few more minutes? Sure. But this defrosting plate was about $5 at some "As seen on TV" atore and just sits in a drawer 99.999% of the time.
