Cast
Aluminum Printer Bed for Ender 5 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 counter sinks 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.

Flatness: We typically we see
0.00 to 0.1mm (0.004in) on our finished product. We do not ship anything exceeding
0.008" in X and Y directions when checked with a precision straight edge.
As delivered
this is a bare cast aluminum bed that will require you to provide a heater (if
you want a heated bed) and a print surface to print on. An adhesive Silicone
heater, applied to the bottom is recommended. We have tested placing this bed
on-top of the factory aluminum heated bed. This does work but is not
recommended. For build surfaces the most common is to use an adhesive bed-side
magnet and spring steel plate system, like the Wham-Bam system. Alternately you
could apply an adhesive build surface, like Build tack or PEI, directly to this
bed but replacement of the surface would be very labor intensive.
These beds
are made from cast aluminum tooling plate with the top and bottom surfaces left
untouched (mill finish). This means occasionally there can be some small marks
on the surface from material handling, nothing significant but still visually
noticeable. This is just normal condition for the material. We do everything we
can to deliver a visually appealing product to our customers but we can't
prevent what happened before we buy our raw material.
Options:
Blemish: These
beds are sold at a discount because of a small imperfection. The top of the
plate is still flat and will work the same as the full price beds. These just
are not up to our high standards for regular grade product. These are only available
on occasion.
