The kit includes four PEI build plates and automates part removal by cycling through plates, eliminating manual intervention between prints. While it works well for multi-color prints and batch production, a minor tolerance issue affects the last plate (fixable with sandpaper), and plates with finished parts can crash into each other in the collection box after the first few prints. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
