I bought one of these Ultrabases based on statements from several people that they are almost magical in their ability to adhere to prints when hot but release them easily when they cool.

Base on my first print, I have to agree. This little printed completely, without issue. I deliberately let the bed cool. When I went to peel him off the bed he was already completely loose, even though he was on a raft (which I removed before I took the photo (sorry). Anyway, I just went over to the printer and picked him up, as if he was never stuck to the bed. It was a bit of a weird experience to be honest, what with having to work really hard to get prints to release from painters' tape or UHU stick.
