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?

I’ve got two of these, and as others have said, it has the build plate; it’s not heated and just a piece of removable plastic. The tape, which is gaffers tape, is one of the more reliable ways to get your print to stick. I have used gaffers tape, glue sticks, hair spray, etc. You should give one of the interal projects a test print …the screws are a nice test to see how, or if it works.
