Do you have a certain range of plastics you can choose from or are there no limitations?
How big are the base plates you want to use, would they fit in an Ultimaker?
I think a lot of plastics would work as a base plate, but I think you should check if they don't have a coating. Especially plastics with a low glass temp would merge with PLA/ABS.
A plastic with a high temp may go unaffected when the 3D printed material is applied and you probably want them to merge.
