Should I choose spring steel or a rigid plate?

Choose flexibility for removable configurations or rigidity when reduced plate flex is needed.

Spring steel flexes to help release a cooled part and is used in removable magnetic configurations. Rigid steel resists flex and may suit high-warp work that can curl a spring plate.

Always confirm the printer, magnet system, total thickness, surface and process on the exact listing before purchase.
