Depends on how rough you need to get to remove a print. If they pop right off like they should when cool then rarely, maybe once a month. If you are rough could be weekly or after each job.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

What is the relationship between (good) bed level and roughness to remove prints?

The design of the adjusters is very bad and can be knocked out of adjustment simply by removing a part.

Wonderful! When I'm "attacking" the bed to peel off the print I think about the risk for decalibration. You support my suspicion.

Thanks!!
