No kidding! My flexible build plate made a huge difference! Nice!

Thanks for the video, I have the wham bam on my CR10s pro, awesome products. I have one ordered for my artillery genius printer as well and for my Anycubic Photon s resin printer. I was lucky to talk to the owner when I received the kit for my CR-10s pro, outstanding customer support he took the time to email KZfaq videos on how to install their products. Thank you for making masks during the Covid-19. Be safe and thanks again.👍👍👍👏👏

@@EricksonMachinePerformance Even with PETG my glass build plate worked like a charm. The stuff sticks like crazy, and pops off when cold. Every time. Still modded with a PEIK plate, which also works. Main advantage: the heat is more evenly spread, and less curling edges on large prints.

I have been slow in making up my mind on getting a flex plate system for my SWX1. I have not used my printer for well over three months due to health(non-COVID-19). I ordered the Whambam system. The TH3D is not available at the moment. I have used the spring bushings and for whatever reason, I can not keep a good accurate bed so I went back to springs. The springs are 25mm (yellow) with the flat bottom and they seem to do a great job.

@EricksonMachinePerformance 4 жыл бұрын

I have found with the silicon you have to go back over them once or twice while doing the setup but after that ur good. I think it just takes a couple seconds for the silicone to settle after its compressed which is why it moves a little bit initially but after its set they really don't move

Question: Do I need to increase bed temp after adding the new magnetic surface and then build plate on top of the existing bed?

I doubt it. With easy set up and leveling, just make the additions made in the video and you'll be making good prints in no time.
