Twizz- So far I've had good luck with flat bases. Occasionally there is a slight abnormality (usually near the tips, not surprisingly) but they are easy to flatten with one or two passes on a base sander. I do want to transition to a more conventional bottom mold, but haven't because of either cost ...
