It still prints great, but damn is it not that pretty anymore

And yes, it’s still flat

I question your definition of flat.

I’m always using a plastic spatula, so mine is pristine.

No sharp protrusions that could puncture or damage the screen or vat. So I say flat.

I was never successful using a plastic spatula so I used a metal one

The trick is to include a wedge in the base of the print, then you don’t need much force. The standard base plate generated by ChiTuBox does have one already.

I have access to a surface plate, to I use that as a flat reference to sand my build plate back to flat.

My photon plate is looking a bit jank. My M3 plate still looks lovely though.

I got a flex plate. 0 issues so far.

The flex plate makes it 1000x easier to remove the print, but I had an issue with it coming off the magnet a tiny bit when pulling off the FEP and sliding laterally a bit causing layer shift. It needs some little 90⁰ tabs on the sides to keep it aligned with the plate.

I got this one, but they need some significant sanding, otherwise nothing will stick to them. They’re very cheap with worldwide free shipping, though.

Idk what this guy is using, but I’ve installed wham bam flex plates on 2 large resin printers and I consider it almost a requirement. It makes print removal super easy and installation is real easy.
