Revolutionize your resin 3D printing experience with the Wham Bam Systems' Flexible Build System for Resin (or FBSR). This innovative system is engineered to simplify removing your printed models, enhancing your overall printing experience!
Our kits feature a high-quality spring steel Flexi Plate, made with a rustproof chromium alloy, ensuring both durability and flexibility. The Flexi Plate is custom-etched on both sides to provide an exceptional grip for your first layer.
The accompanying Magnetic Base is a custom-designed composite magnet with alternating polarity, delivering robust adhesion that withstands the demanding suction forces of large prints. It is backed with a specialty 3M adhesive designed to resist harsh solvents and chemicals, for a permanent bond.
Get everything you need in the Flexible Build System or upgrade to the Double Wham kit, which includes an additional Flexi Plate. This extra plate enables a continuous printing workflow by allowing you to start a new print on your 2nd plate while starting the cleaning process on your recently finished print, significantly increasing your productivity.
Ideal for both beginners and seasoned professionals, the Flexible Build System for Resin is a game-changer, offering a seamless, efficient, and reliable solution to your resin 3D printing needs.

Do I need a Z Spacer?
It is possible to use our system without installing spacers, but to confirm you need to see if when in current level condition you have at least 3mms more upward movement on the head (if installing our FBSR) and 4mms (if installing an XTR).
Note: It is always safer to use a spacer if we have one listed.

We always recommend sanding the build plate (Textured & non-textured) to open the pores, even for brand-new build heads, to help remove cutting oils and contaminants and prepare the metal for the 3M bond.
We worked with 3M to have the best glue that would resist the harsh chemicals found in 3D Print Resins and Isopropyl Alcohol, but it does not do well on any metal with contaminants.
On top of it all, many printers are famous for not having a flat bottom, which will cause issues later.
Follow this video or see the instructions below for the installation of the Magnetic Base:
- Be sure to remove the old Magnetic Base and adhesive
- Check that your build plate is flat by laying a steel ruler on the edge across it in all directions and see if there is any light passing between it.
- Let the whole head sit for at least 30 minutes in an alcohol bath to remove residue from the entire build head and hard-to-reach places.
- Clean every surface of the build head well with pure isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel to remove all residue and dry well.
- Use 220-grit sandpaper on the bottom of your build plate to rough up the surface and open the pores and ensure there is no residue left
- Re-clean with alcohol and a fresh paper towel, repeat the process with a new paper towel until the towel comes away clean
- Let dry completely
- Then mount the Magnetic Base and leave it to cure for 72 hours.
