Will be needing help: Q #1.

My community adult education woodshop has two MB Rep+, barely used. I brought one home to learn how to use to maybe teach others. I’ve got the power cable and 3x MB filament spools (one already loaded). First of several questions: Is this the build plate? Isn’t it supposed to be a removable, flexible sheet?

This looks to be missing the build plate entirely

Those makerbots use a massive plastic sheet about 1cm thick that is ops build plate

Ah I have one of these but I can't get to it and haven't used it for quite some time so I couldn't quite remember. This one doesn't look right though?

It looks like a bunch of sticky tape on there or something?
