My only concern is that the mold that comes with the mini is 7.5" and I haven't been able to find anything here that is 8" to test the mold with to see if it will stay in place. Are you able to confirm getting a 8" into the mold martin?

I don't know what mould you've got and we don't keep these 8" plates in stock, sorry. If you can confirm this mould then I can try to find out.

Paypal is fine. Are you going for the case of 36 or going halves with someone. I don't mind just need to have the deposit paid in total for all 36 to get these ordered...

Just to confirm - mould is not suitable for 8" plates. The 8" plates will not print in the mini press (as advised by supplier) as they are too big, you would need a larger vacuum press.
Happy to bring these in still if you want to try...

hmmm... this is wired now
I just bought 8" silicon plate mould for 3d MINI. so if they sell mould why 8" would't fit? do bestsub offer glass 7,5" plates for full face printing?
edit:
i found old sublimation plate that is 8" I just checked my machine and it fits perfectly.

Have you tried putting that plate in your mould? are you sure its a 8" mould and that the seller wasn't rounding up the size?
The mould I have came with the machine and is 7.5"

They do stretch but it will try and return to its orignal shape so this is why i'm concern about the extra half inch. It will probably come down to the vacuum as to whether it will stay in place.
