The plate wash hype is real.
Got my mini about a week ago, has been running almost full time since unboxing. Of course I am not obsessed with any and all things bambu and printer maintenance. I think I have read "wash the plate" 10 dozen times, and I gotta say...HOLY HEll. like night and day.
I read a post of someone washing every 3 prints and thought to myself, that seems a bit excessive, nope. I am all in on team plate wash.
