ELEGOO Building Plate for Mars 3 Series LCD 3D Printer with Anti-Slip Hexagon Socket Screws and Sandblasted Surface, Compatible Mars 3 Printer and Mars 3 Pro

Product Information

If the Z-axis can stop normally, it means that the limit switch can be triggered without any problem, but the limit switch stopper is too short to trigger the limit switch when the build plate is installed on the printer. You can put a 1-2mm spacer between the screws and the limit switch stopper as shown in the below pictures to fix this problem. (the limit switch stopper is at the bottom of the z-axis connecting shaft)

Some people recommend to put the sandpaper on a flat surface like a glass surface and pass the build plate over it repeatedly until the burrs are gone. Best Resin Build Plate Replacement – Anycubic Photon, Elegoo Mars & More The 3DJake Flexible Buildplate System was specially designed for easy removal of the finished parts. At least it worked for me with models larger than 130 mm and really heavy (last model about 250 grams!). Step 6: After the above leveling is complete, set the current Z axis position as the initial height of the first layer position. You can rotate the build plate and continue sanding for a more evenly sanded build plate. To know whether your build plate is sanded evenly, you should see the surface has no visible low spots with a uniform surface color.You can easily add rafts to the model in your favorite 3D modeling or slicing software. Here’s how you can add one in Lychee slicer: While sanding your build plate, always use gloves and a mask to avoid inhaling metal particles. Also, most users recommend that you grip your build plate in a way that ensures the pressure across its surface is uniform.

Thanks to a specially patterned surface, our steel plate has improved adhesion compared to most original platforms, which greatly increases the success rate! If you get that right and the print holds on the flex plate (more on that in a moment), it's a great thing. After printing, you can easily remove this plate and flex it to get your print off it easily. It’s also made of stainless steel, making it harder to scratch or gouge its surface, giving it a higher lifespan. If the scratches on your build plate are very deep, or you have gouges or low spots in the plate, you might need to sand it. Sanding removes all the scratches and low spots while giving your build plate additional texture that leads to better print adhesion.

This replacement comes with a sandblasted surface that automatically provides the needed texture for build plate adhesion. It also comes with a larger bed leveling hexagonal nut to keep the bed stable and level for longer. As a result, this may affect the print quality as it can distort the light image shining through the sheet. To avoid this, you need to remove the burrs from the build plate. There are several ways you can still fix and use a scratched build plate: Some of these methods include:

However, the user reported that the scratches didn’t affect the model’s quality or adhesion. In fact, they say the model was even harder to get off the build plate after the build plate was scratched. The home function of the printer does not ensure that the last set zero point is directly approached. Instead it works like this: After the build plate is level, you can use the 80-grit build plate to add a bit of texture to the plate, sanding diagonally to put scratches into the build plate. After that, clean the build plate again with the isopropyl alcohol and lint-free cloth, then you should be done. However, some scratches can cause problems if they are not taken care of. Some scratches have raised edges and burrs, which can damage the FEP sheet and cause issues with the print.

What Happens if You Scratch Your Resin Build Plate?

WB Magnetic Base with 3M adhesive resistant to harsh solvents and chemicals like resin, mean green, and isopropyl alcohol Please print the "ChiTu Mainboard Specification" gcode file that comes with the original USB flash drive of the printer and then reset Z=0.

Most of the time, you can either live with the scratches on your build plate or fix them. But sometimes, the damage might be too extensive, so you’re going to have to replace the build plate. You can still create your usual supports between the raft and the model since it might be hard to separate the raft and model if created like the picture above. Continuous printing with a Double Wham, start another print before you start cleaning the first! The Double Wham contains: If one had dealt attentively with the topic, one would have realized that one must print out a spacer with the old platform BEFORE modification, which must be inserted between the flag and threaded spindle. Additionally you need to replace the 2 screws with matching ones, because the original ones are too short, of course. A raft helps prevent the bottom of the model from sustaining damage from the build plate. It takes the hit from the scratches giving the 3D model a smooth surface to build on.Run them over the scratches on the build plate and determine where the gloves catch on the plate. This is where you need to remove the burrs.
