Recently, I’ve been printing a lot of Gridfinity bins and have been way too impatient to wait for the bed to cool down.

Since I have a ring on the edge of my build plate, I simply pick the plate up and wave it around the room like an animal 😂. This cools it down quickly, then the build comes off like butter.

Am I damaging my build plate? Should I stop doing this? Or should more attention span-deficient Gen-Z do this?
