Made these three today 🔥 The first is to test imprint patterns. The latter were to see which color coating works best on gold. For several reasons I think we're going to offer white on gold rather than black. What do you think? 🤔

Fact check - it was inaccurate to say our @hueforge collab was the first 😅 @brendonbuilds reached out a while ago to make custom @Prusa3D mini plates for their Mod0 build for @The_SMF_ These are special in that they have zero margin, and a slightly less thick coating 🔥
