I know they shut down people selling custom faceplates, but I figured we'd still be able to find the files to print our own out. I cannot find it anywhere. Anyone have a lead?

I did not know that.
So, after the State of Play, it is now the Stay of Plate.

There have been a ton of great DIY projects. It's apparently very easy to paint them.
If you're just put off by the white, pull off the suckers and spray them black. They take really well to paint.

I actually love the whites, but I would like to remove and store the originals in the box for preservation. I would like to use third party white plates, since I wouldn't care for the non official plates getting yellow or washed out, or if they eventually break.
It's a console, not a historical artifact.
Has anyone seen differently shaped plates yet?

Why is that? 3d printers especially on a simple shape like that do very well.

I'd like a base plate print to modify. My plan is to create some unique ones, different shapes etc.
Just was hoping to have a starting point instead of needing to do it all from scratch.

There are many different types of plastics to use for 3D printing. You can definitely print parts with flex.
I hope someone prints some that let you just put it flat horizontally without that stand. I'd buy those in an instant.
I don't think it'll be long before we see replacement plates on eBay and the like. It's one thing for Sony to plug the hole on some upstart UK company. But they're not going to be able to plug those holes once hundreds of chinese sellers starts recasting. And I don't see that taking much longer really. It doesn't take long at all for stuff like Apple watch bands to be retro engineered and sold for about 30x less than RRP. So it'll happen at some point.
Thought the ps5 ran 5 degrees celsius cooler with the plates off? What's with this plates help the airflow nonsense?
Without a plate would only improve airflow. It would be fully open instead of channeling the air around the console
yes it ran cooler in that video. but in your cabinet, if you lay it horizontally without the plates, it might be different. Theyre like a padding of sorts

The tear down that was done showed it was actually cooler without them
