Cast Aluminum Printer Bed for the K2 Plus Printer.
This cast aluminum 3D printer bed makes for a superior printing surface substrate, far exceeding what comes standard on most consumer 3D printers in terms of flatness, rigidity and stability.
This bed incorporates the following features:
-CNC Machined, to ensure all features are exactly where they should be.
-Machined perimeter - no raw saw cut edges, giving you a nice finished appearance
-All holes are precisely sized and countersinks made exactly the size they need to be
-Build surface locating pins - When using a magnetic build surface, our locating pins (screws) aid you to placing the removable build surface, every time.
-Thermal Sensor groove milled into the top surface. This positions the sensor as close as possible to the build surface, thereby giving the best possible temperature reading.
-Thermal fuse and earth ground mounting locations – Additional threaded holes that provide a location for mounting a thermal fuse and earth grounding lead.
-Hardware included - We include the required hardware for mounting the bed, build surface stop screws along with the thermal fuse and earth ground mounting screws.
Specs:
Thickness: 7.94mm 5/16”
Overall size: 363mm X 366mm
Printable area: 363mm X 366mm
Flatness - Standard grade beds have a flatness of 0.120mm or better, every bed plate we make is CMM inspected for flatness before packaging.
Magnet Version Specs
-15 samarium cobalt magnets, placed in the top surface flush or just barely below flush with the top surface. With 3lbs of pull each and a temp rating up to 300*C. These beds are made to order and have about a one week processing time.
-Typically the same weight or lighter than a our bed plus a 1mm adhesive magnet sheet
-Magnet beds do not hold the spring steel print surface plate as well as an adhesive magnet sheet, this is mainly because you are holding smooth metal on smooth metal versus smooth metal onto a grippy plastic surface
-We recommend using a spring steel sheet as thick as possible, 0.5mm or thicker and only use steel. There are some magnetic stainless steel sheets out on the market and they do not hold well
-The use of double sides spring steel sheets is not recommended as it reduces the magnetic pull and reduces the friction between the steel sheet and the printer bed.
-Our magnets are held in with a combination of adhesive and a screw. Both the screw and the magnet are not removable, it will rip the threads out of the bed and we will not offer refunds for this.
