Should I vary the location of printing?

Noticed that lots of printing in the default center has started to show a wear spot in the middle of the bed. I don’t know if that’s from excess prying/scraping of the parts off or the heating element or what.

But wondered if I should vary my printing so it occurs in different parts of the bed to utilize the fresh pei surface.

Anyone else doing this? Like everyone else, I have varying bed height, so moving it around would also mean potentially adjusting z-offsets for perfect prints.

I was told to do that, by someone whom prints a lot of 3D parts. :slight_smile:

It spreads the stress of part removal to other parts of the bed and slows adhesive and PEI sheet failure.
