Magnetic Flexible PEI Build Plate for UltiMaker 2/3/S3 series (3rd-party product)

By 3D Universe

Magnetic Flexible PEI Build Plates for Ultimaker 3D Printers offers two different printing experiences. One side is smooth, and the other side is textured. Provides great adhesion between PEI and printing models, a smooth or textured model surface, flexibility, and quick & easy removal of prints. Fully compatible with the active leveling system on Ultimaker printers.

Sizing and Compatibility

This build plate is 258mm x 230mm, compatible with the Ultimaker 2/2+ series (including the 2+ Connect), Ultimaker 3 series, and Ultimaker S3.

Installation Instructions:

We recommend installing the adhesive magnetic base on top of the glass build plate. This will provide a more level surface than the aluminum base plate. Because installing it in this manner will add several millimeters to the height of the bed, so a couple of adjustments will be needed before you get back to printing.

  1. First, you'll need to bend the two metal clips at the rear of the build plate to extend them upwards a bit so the new combined build plate can fit under those clips. The two front clips that swivel will not be used at all, so you can just push those out to the sides and leave them that way.
  2. At this point, you can slide in the new combined glass/PEI build plate, ensuring that it fits snugly under the rear clips.
  3. Now you'll need to lower the bed platform by several millimeters to compensate for the increased thickness of the combined build plate. This is done using the three adjustment screws under the build plate (one at the rear and two at the front). Tight each thumb-screw as far as it will go (which will pull the build plate lower) and then unscrew each one about one full turn (to allow some room for adjustment).
  4. After this, you'll need to run the manual leveling procedure (tap the gear icon on the touch panel, then go to Maintenance > Build Plate > Manual Leveling, and follow the on-screen instructions).

After this, you should be ready to print with your new PEI build plate! You can choose to print on the textured side or the smooth side, depending on your preference. Using adhesive is not required, but it doesn't hurt to apply some Magigoo on the PEI surface just to make sure you have no adhesion issues, especially with larger prints and more challenging materials. Happy printing!
