CR-10 Flexible Magnetic Build Plate DIY

thingiverse

I no longer maintain the files for my CR-10S, so any development or revisions will cease. I recently upgraded to a DIY Magnetic Build Plate for the CR-10 (300x300) and I'm thoroughly impressed. Even after several months, my opinion remains unchanged - this mod has revolutionized my 3D printing experience. From now on, I won't use a 3D printer without a magnetic build plate or similar design. I understand that others may benefit from this information, so while the upload doesn't include any STL files, it bundles all relevant details into an easily searchable format. To replicate this setup, you'll need: LokBuild (available on Amazon for $20): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072MZRM2P Alternatively, use any adhesive-backed build sheet, such as LokBuild, BuildTak, PEI, Gluestick, Tape, or similar materials. Materials required include: 1095 Spring Steel (0.016") - available on McMaster for $27: https://www.mcmaster.com/#9036K992 Magnetic Sheet (0.032") - available on McMaster for $5: https://www.mcmaster.com/#5775K8 (max temperature 150°F, 65°C) Additional components include: Adjustable Z-Stop: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2158261 Bed Leveling Wedge: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2779077 To assemble the DIY Magnetic Build Plate: 1. Remove the factory glass from your CR-10. 2. Install the Adjustable Z-axis stop and lower it all the way. 3. Clean the Spring Steel, then stick the build plate to it. 4. Clean the CR-10 aluminum heated bed plate, then stick the magnet sheet to it. 5. Attempt to level the bed - if the middle of the plate is low, install Bed wedge(s).
