Questions
If I were to attach the magnetic plate directly to the PCB would it holds it's flatness? If not what should l mount it to?
Will these function properly on a prusa mk4? And if so, what size would best maximize build volume??
I have a Dremel 3D20 printer. Will this product work?
Is there anything like this for the voxelab aquila x2?
Hello , i have a XYZ Da Vinci 1.0 Pro 7/8 x7/8 can i use the 8x8 buildTak system on this printer thanks
Do you make a kit for Ender 5 Plus?
Hi, I'm trying to find one of these for a Robo R2. From what I've read, there is a specific one for it. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks
Do you have to raise the temp on your prints to compensate for the added bed? Does the buildtak lose heat?
Will other flex plates like those sold by EZ-Stik on their website work with this Magnetic Base? Can probably attach their adhesive material to this Flex Plate but curious whether other spring steel plates will adhere to this Magnetic Base.
Is there one that fits the Ultimaker 2+? It is 8.8 x 8.8 x 8.1. I can't use just the 8x8 because I print to the edge sometimes.
How do you clean it?
Will it work with Robo 3D r1+?
Hi, I have a Da Vinci 1.0 pro with a build volume of 7.9" x 7.9" and would like to know if the 8" x 8" is correct for me? or should I try squeezing a 8.66" x 8.66" on it?
Do you have flex sheets that fit and work well on the Prusa MK2?
May I have one for my Cetus3d 7 5/16" x 7 5/16" or could I trim it?
Can I get a 235mm x 235mm set up for an ender 3?
Replacing build tak weekly on a print farm eats into the wallet. I need this transform build tak into a non-consumable product. I don't care if I can replace the build tak on this plate, my expectation is that with very rare accentual exceptions, I would never need to. True or False?
Will this work on a Lulcbot Mini
What about 8" x 10" (MakerGear M3) ???
Hi I am looking for something that would work on my Ender 3. Will any of these Flexplates do the job. They seem too small or too big. Thanks
Will the prints stick to this without a heated bed?
Robo r1+ when will you have the flexplate system available?
Will the magnets interfere w/ an inductive bed level sensor? In a video, Joe Prussa says their machine stays away from the bed magnets when leveling. I can configure Marlin to probe where I tell it to, but in your video, the magnets appear to be in a dense herringbone pattern and it may not be possible to avoid them w/ the probe. My current probe is ~18mm square, but the active area is likely smaller than that. I understand that the steel sheet interacts w/ the magnetic fields of the bed magnets, but I am not sure if that will help or hurt w/ the issue I am concerned about. Have you worked with or seen inductive probe printers successfully auto leveling w/ this magnetic bed? If so, do you know if they had to ensure the probe points were away from the magnets or oriented a specific way to the magnets?
Will the magnets retain strength even at the higher heated bed temperature of 110C over time?
Replied to another question above but not sure if it will go to right person. When you say it can be cut from the 8 x 8 size to a smaller size, does it need to be cut from any particular side due to the magnetic fields or does it matter from which side it is cut to reduce it to 6" X 6"? Thanks!
I have a TAZ 6. How would I make this product work with my auto-leveling setup, or more accurately, how does my printer know how to play nicely with this product?
I see it can handle a heated build plate I would like to try abs can it handle 100 temps?
Is the Flexplate system stiff enough to maintain a flat bed if it were installed on a bare PCB heater alone (i.e. no glass or aluminum sheet)?
Please advise the thickness of the flexplate alone
Would it work with Prusa i3 MK3? And do you have the right size for MK3?
My printer is DaVinci Pro Jr. from xyzprint The print area is 5.9”x5.9” Do you have size or can I cut it down w scissor?
How thick are the flexible sheets....what is the depth of the total system by component?
I have purchase a 6.5”x6.5” FlexPlate system last October (2018). I need a replacement. Do you still offer it? Thanks.
We currently do not offer it in that size, but you are able to cut to fit a BuildTak sheet to your current FlexPlate.
