Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

I’ve nicked my cryo build plate with a metal scraper, it made me very sad.
- Comment
Damaging the build plate with metal scraper is a skill issue. I still use the blade that came with my A1 with a printed handle and the plate is still good. Just work carefully with right angle, don't grind all over the plate like woodwork.
- Comment
Just anecdotal but I’ve never had issues with a metal scraper on my textured PEI plates. Common wisdom is that you’ll damage/scratch your plate, but I haven’t had any issues yet on either of my two machines

Don't tell me what to do i won't tell you where to go... I used plastic razors and metal scrapers. Never gonna use plastic ones again.

> for any Pei or textured surface you're just destroying the plate. No, you're not. Metal blades are totally fine as long as you actually take a second to be careful. I've used plastic and metal blades on my PEI plate. Plastic works when the material comes off easy and I just scrape quickly without thinking. If something sticks too much for that--which is not rare--I'll use the metal scraper. You only destroy the plate if you're not being careful.
