Anycubic M5s Build Plate - mod for Wham Bam Flex Plate System

thingiverse

The new Anycubic M5s has an auto-leveling feature that is based on the OEM build plate dimensions. Adding a flexible build plate system increases this total height distance and can impact the auto-leveling system. Instead of modifying the homing system or adding an extender to the limit switch flag system, you can simply replace the build plate assembly intermediate post with one of these and keep the same total build plate height, and not need to modify your new printer and possibly void its warranty. This intermediate replacement part was dimensional designed with the help of Wham Bam Systems to ensure the new part calculates for the thickness of their XTR and Standard FBS magnetic plate and steel flex plate. Wham Bam is expecting to have a FBS system for the Anycubic M5s in the coming weeks. See the attached photo for details between the options. Note that you must replace the 2 machine screws in the build plate when using this intermediate modification. Since the Wham Bam FBS is not available for purchase, this mod has not been print verified as of 8/14/23. It is dimensional correct, but after I receive the new FBS from Wham Bam, I will do a leveling and print analysis and update these files if necessary. If you have any issues or suggestions, please let me know. Modeling preformed in Fusion 360 and sliced in Cura 5.4. These were printed on an Anycubic Vyper printer and fitment verified.
