After 5 years my trusty old textured plate is wearing out and I'm in the market for something new. I print PLA, PETG, ABS, and TPU. There are so many choices now and I need some guidance!

Satin for the win. Use it for almost everything. It's very versatile. For tpu I still use smooth with glues tick and every once in awhile if I'm having first layer issues or base warping issues, I'll swith a PETG or pla print to smooth with gluestick (magigoo) 95% of everything else I love satin
