Thanks for making this.
I made it I used the tape trick and used a business card to make up the height to get it put together.
Nice improvement.

I tried a ABS print @100C then 4 layers go to 80C it did not work it lifted back to printing @100C.
This was about 3" 3" 1/2 about 1/8" thick.

I did a second print and it is working very well. This time I let the plate cool before removing the part. There was no difference in removing it as soon as it was done and when it cooled. I needed to do the same amount of flex to get it off. I think I will try printing a little a little lower temp.

I got enough 1095 in to make two 8X10 plates. I used air tin shears to cut it. Tin air nibbler would have worked a little better. The shears did a good job. I just did my first ABS print and it was a print I have done many times before. This print will only stay down with Elmer’s glue stick. No amou...

He said “What if I ordered a sheet of 1095 blue spring steel” so I was not sure what one to get.
What is the difference does one rust and one does not rust?

I just quoted the post. dpersuhn posted it.

Did you order this one?

jin, i guess you could use a dremel but your going to need a bunch of the cutoff wheels. its not exactly the ideal tool for the job.

What one did you order?

How well does it handle ABS? Guys, For the adventurous ones that have an air cutoff tool, I have a suggestion. I like Buildtak, but things sometimes stick to it so well that it's sometimes hard to get them off of it. I've destroyed several sheets of the stuff when a print stuck so well that I ended ...

Glad you got it back working again.
Make sure you give the cable a little more slack. When the bed is whole way forward it should not put pull on that connector. If there is much pressure it will do it again.

Follow the wires from the bed back about 2 ½ “ back under the black protective sleeve there is a connector. I bet yours came unplugged I have had this happen.
