PEI coated flex-plate system

Is it possible to specify no magnets?
Technically, yes, but if you don't need the magnet couldn't you use it for something else? Otherwise you would be paying for something you're not receiving.
-
Yep fair enough, I'm sure I could find something to use it on
-
Is 310mm the limit in size?
I'm looking for one around 460mm square, 450mm minimum.

The size limit is stated on the Kickstarter. We also have a FAQ section over there as to the current limitations. The future is bright however for making any size if the Kickstarter is successfully funded.
Thank you!

We have just published an update to the Kickstarter. We are now offering flex-plates without the magnet based off of feedback.
-
I shared your Kickstarter with 3d printing Australia group also. A few people interested there

You have no idea how much that means to me. I am very humbled
Thank you!

@klcjr89 I have also shared it on the 3D-Printers Discord server

@dougal1957 Doug, thank you for that!
Are you still enjoying your Nimble?
-
@klcjr89 Oh yes best upgrade I ever made in fact I have a sidewinder waiting for me to finish my CoreXY Build.
Any chance you could do your bed plates any larger my delta is 370 diamater and my CoreXY will be 450x450

Doug, we can make any size in the future if the campaign is funded. To make sizes greater than 310mm requires the purchase of 10 tons of steel in larger widths, as that is the minimum order quantity unfortunately.
-
@klcjr89 Yeah I can see why that would be prohibitive. Have seen your comments on the discord as well (I'm lil doug on there)
-
Update: we are now offering double sided coated options to satisfy as many people as possible.
-
Update: we are now offering sizes up to 350mm and have lowered the costs of rewards! We have streamlined the reward tiers to make it less cluttered. You can also buy just a flex-plate now, whereas before we required the purchase of two at a time.
-
@klcjr89 hope it will succeed
Also - Can you share an image of how the underside of a print looks when it is printed on the surface?
-
I already have a flexible bed system available for duplicator 3i, ender 3 and cr10. The magnetic sheet can be cut to size to suit and any printer with a bed size up 310mm x 310mm and i will customise the flexible steel top to suit other printer requirements if required. It does not have a PEI sheet but these can be purchased separately, along with other bed materials to suit your requirement.

No criticising the product in any way but looking at the video in the first post, that first layer was being printed soooo slowly compared to what I'm used to. Is that normal for PEI? What sort of speeds do you guys print your first layers at?

That is slow motion filming, not slow printing

There is a shot in the video that shows this, but I'll try to get a still image.

Ahh OK. But can you or anyone else answer my second question. i.e. what sort of first layer speed is reasonable when using PEI?
Like I said, this is on no way any sort of criticism of the product - just wondering that's all.
