Hi guys, I've been thinking about the carbon fiber print-plate idea and started wondering about G-10 Garolite (think old circuit boards). It's rated at 265F (130C) and about a 10th the price of carbon fiber. Anyone have any experience with it? Cheers Jeff |

is that the same as Paxolin ? Peter |
| andyf:
Peter, I think it's the same general type of stuff as Paxolin, but Tufnol might be a closer British equivalent. Tufnol comes in various grades as resin-bonded paper, cloth or glass fibre. I don't know if Garolite comes in these different varieties. Andy |

I think it's same stuff, also heard it called reinforced bakelite. Several different varieties (paper, cloth, etc.), it all gets a bit confusing after a while. :scratch: From the very little experience I've had with it it seems like it should resist warping under the heated bed. At $25 for a foot square sheet of 1/4" I may just give it a try when I move to a heated bed. Cheers Jeff |
