SovolUpgraded Platform 2 Pack, Resin Magnetic Flexible Steel Plate Flex Bed Fits for Mars 3 Mars 3 Pro Mars 3 Ultra 4K SLA LCD Resin 3D Printer 150x95mm

After fulling installing it, complete with all of the additional parts that are needed, this works like a dream. It has a powerful hold onto my build plate, it leaves a great texture to the bottom of my prints, and its quick and easy to remove. It works exactly how you think it will work.However, I do have some issues. First of all, I had to buy some longer screws. That was a pain. I was hoping I'd be able to make it work without longer screws. Nah, no good. Second, you need a spacer for the Z-Axis limiter. Ideally you'd print that out before hand. I found it on Thingiverse, it didn't come with one. Third, which, this one may just be on me, but... it scratched my resin vat. Luckily, the FEP is fine, but during one particular print, it may have been off-center and led to some ugly scratches on my Resin vat.I do recommend this Flex Plate, but its important that you know that there is some headache involved. After I got what I needed, this plate is fantastic.

These magnetic bases make life way better when trying to remove large prints from the build plate, but there's two modifications you need to make.The first thing is that the steel plate is too smooth and the base layer doesn't like to stick, to fix that I sanded the surface with 220 grit sandpaper in a circular motion and cleaned it well with alcohol. No more prints falling off.The second thing is the thickness of the magnet can prevent the printer from being able to set Z height zero. To fix that I bent the little tab that hits the Z lower limit switch slightly lower. That raises the zero position and gives enough height for the thickness of the magnet.

I love my Mars 3 Pro but hated scraping the build plate to remove the prints. This took less than a minute to install. Recalibration of the z-axis takes only a couple minutes more, and I was off and printing. Have the two plates and magnets come with the package allowed me to install the one magnetic and hotswap the extra build plate. So now I finish one print, pop off the plate, and pop on the other, and start printing again, while I wash, remove and clean the previous print. I don't know why Elegoo doesn't design a magnetic build plate to start with. They have it on their FDM printer, this is just such a better solution.

This worked out extremely well for most of the prints I have done up until this week. I have been printing almost exclusively smaller things, where I can fit a lot on the build plate. This week I have been trying to print some larger things. It's messed up a little on Monday and Tuesday, but the prints were still usable. Unfortunately, today (Wednesday), I just wasted about 300ml of resin on this latest print because of a little rotation that started during the early layers that only got exaggerated during the later layers, and the metal plate was coming off of the magnet visibly and got resin between the magnet and build plate, but I had started this at night before going to sleep.I had to throw out the failed print, both magnets and both metal plates, because I need to be confident when I start a print that it won't fail because the build plate rotated or bent down. If I had a printer that would be used exclusively for small prints, I would probably get these again for that, but on the Photon Mono X, these can't handle the larger prints.I also wanted to add that I read I should use a PTFE lubricant to reduce adhesion to the FEP, which I have been doing. Without that, it did have a couple small issues with smaller prints (but were still usable).

I saw this product recommended on a few YouTube videos and on forums, so I decided to give it a go. Installation was extremely simple. I used a heat gun to get the magnet's adhesive backing well-adhered to the print bed. Then installation of the steel plate was incredibly simple followed by a re-leveling of the bed. Initially, I had some adhesion issues and the print fell into my vat but I cleaned off the plate, roughed it up with some 120 grit, and haven't had an adhesion issue since in around 30 prints using your run of the mill standard resin. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this flex plate.

Item works great once you've installed it properly. Items stick easily and peel with just a slight flex, even for smaller objects.Steps i took are1. Sand original build plate with 240 grit. Took me a while by hand but was thoroughly scratched afterwards Clean Thoroughly with alcohol and paper towels afterwards.2. Install Magnet slowly while pushing out from the center.3. Sand "both" sides of the steel plate with 120 grit. my exact process was pouring alcohol on it and sanding with orbital sander for about 1 minute, doing this scratches it but polishes it a bit too much so finish by sanding by hand for about 2 minutes on each side.4. Use abrasive sponge and detergent and brush both side well, after rinse throughly with water.5. before printing wipe down both sides with alcohol and paper towel.

You will need to lower your bottom stop. There are 3d printable brackets available on thingiverse for this, or you can just file the screw hole (anycubic 4k) a few mm bigger to allow the extra drop. If you don't do this, you will bottom your build plate out against the screen protector (especially if you have a slightly thicker glass screen protector). Worth it though.

This is a common problem for most people.Sovol should include the spacers needed for its products to work out of the box. Customers are expected to wait 72 hours for adhesive to take affect... but first make sure to print the spacer. That's a lazy way of providing a product.

I was concerned when I fitted this that the magnet wasn't particularly strong, turn out I was right. Contraction of the resin as it cures has caused the steel build plate to warp and peeled it off the magnetic backing at the edges (magnets are good with a straight pull but weak against peeling) resulting in a warped print.In fairness, this particular model is probably worst case but it's precisely the sort of model you want this type of release system for. I've had a good few successful prints on it, but they werent the sort that cause much trouble releasing.Going to try replacing the magnetic sheet with a grid of neodynium magnets, if that fails then it's back to scraping and swearing ;-)Edit: After removing the magnetic sheet from the build plate the adhesive residue can be quickly cleaned off with a cloth soaked in IPA, which isn't a good sign really.

These were bought for a sonic mini 4k, and fit perfectly (135x75)No Z-axis adjustment was needed on this printer, although I did of course do a relevel.Anyway, I bought a single flexplate on here from another seller as an experiment a few weeks ago, and it wasn't great - the plate didn't spring back into a flat shape after a while.This dual pack actually appear to be made by Creality though (at least that's what the instruction sheet was from), and seem better quality to me.Arrived sandwiched in thick cardboard protection, seems a grippier etched surface than the other one I tried, and two little handles on the front rather than 1. Of course there are also two of the plates in the box as well, which is excellent considering they were only a few pounds more than the single ones.Overall, highly recommended - especially if you don't want to pay the extortionate prices asked by the more well known flexplate company on the market (W***B**)!

Great upgrade to help remove prints without damaging them or the build plate. Be sure to thoroughly clean the build plate before sticking. The magnetic plate is slightly smaller than the elegoo Saturn build plate so you lose a little surface area. If printing large models directly onto the new plate make sure to center them, I've had 1 batch fail due to the print lifting the magnetic plate from sticking to the base of the resin vat, but I was using a new resin so could be an issue with exposure time and not the magnetic plate. But something to watch out for.DON'T FORGET TO ADJUST THE Z AXIS FOR THE MAGNET!!!

Amazingly good, works just like it should.Tip for users, print of a 2.7mm spacer that's available on thingyverse and and adjust your first layer exposure up to 90sec and you should be ready to go

The build plate is the wrong size for the elegoo Saturn your losing build space installing this and the sticky pads are not that great Saturn is 196 X 126
