That's so slick! When you were talking about it before I pictured a sheet of cork with a string tied to it, nothing this cool. I may have to try this one out.

Nice design! Love the way you have used the lower part as the attachment point so it self removes at the platform raises.

This is a cover for the heated bed that speeds up the warming process (by 2x for me). It automatically flips out of the way when the bed raises up to print. It uses some sheet cork, a small square of MDF and these printed parts:

Using it, I was able to bring my bed up to full temperature in 9 minutes instead of 20!
