I think the original H1 shipped with an acrylic build plate (it might have been polycarbonate), I destroyed mine inside 2 prints.
The problem with any build plate that has a plastic transition point below the printing temperature is if the print head is too low, it either destroys the plate or it embeds the bottoms layer in the plate and removal is close to impossible.
Plastic plates are also rarely thick enough to stay flat if there is any heat being applied.
