I had a hunch looking at other build plates that had the M5 listed alongside the Q1 as compatible and also the fact that my Qidi build plate specified 250x250 on it. My machine is the newer unshrouded Z carriage so who knows if it actually fits the older Q1 but these build plates are wicked good. I had Pa6gf and to test tried the stock plate 1st which failed, and changing nothing, swapped plates to receive a complete print with no drama!
I had a cheaper flexible plate with textured surface, and struggled to work with it. The powder coat was uneven, had some sharp little points here and there in the coating, and I think one side was coated thicker than the other so my leveling was tricky. This flexible build plate has been excellent right out of the gate. I get good adhesion and the texture is nice on the bottoms of my prints. I've yet to have a bad experience with WB flexible build plates and will happily buy another if needed.
Great build plate - recommended.
I’ll use the plate over the Textured Bambu Textured OEM, BIQU Frostbite Coolplate.
I use the Wham Bam plates and build surfaces on all my printers: a Bambu X1C, Ender3 S1 Pro, and two deltas. They work very well for PLA, PETG, and ABS. These are my go-to build surfaces.
Works great, just as I expected. Once I utilized the firmware fix here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/saturn-4-ultra-z-limit-flash-for-wham-bam-xtr?srsltid=AfmBOorltoX-KezLtyGDJnrG7DfUqZaQGL9a9mdAJ8boJIMLFi0vCdAT
I received the ULTIM8 WYP (along with the ULTIM8 FUN funnel) as a Christmas present from my wife. Both products are amazing! The spatula does exactly as advertised, but better. It cleaned the vat so well that I didn't need to wipe it out afterwards. The funnel is easy to use and fits in the resin bottle with no problems. The resin goes through it super fast thanks to the vent holes.
I HIGHLY recommend both products.
Works so much better than random no-name brand PEI plates!
All my 3D resin printers have Wham Bam build plates. Why? Because they just work. No more SCRAPPING the crap out of my build plate to get my prints off. Just bend and POP the prints are free!
easy flow of resin to the bottle due to the construction and easy to clean.
dos what a funnel do
Great product and prints perfectly
I'm really liking the ULTIM8 resin printing tools. They all seem thoughtfully designed. I've been resin printing since 2020 and these tools all feel well thought out and well made.
Incredibly fast shipping. Never disappointed by Wham Bam systems
This size of kit also works on the Anycubic Photon Mono 2, with slight modification to the build plate due to the extra thickness added (~3mm).
As a funnel for resin it really does the job of being a funnel for resin.
9/10 would recommend.
Make sure your printer is identifying the AruCo sticker properly. I assumed that acknowledging the warning about being unable to identify the print plate and telling the printer to resume would resume using the settings you sent to the printer in the first place. It apparently does not. I'm not sure what settings it uses but it will result in failed first layers. Once the AruCo identification issue was resolved then it printed perfectly.
This build plate did not work for my Saturn 4 Ultra. The thin metal flexible build plate would constantly move while printing. The magnet was either not strong enough to keep it in place or something else I’m unsure but I would absolutely not recommend this product 1/10 for me unfortunately.
Daniel,
From your brief descripiton, it sounds like you need to level your bed. Please reach out to our support team at techincal@whambamsystems.com so they can assist you with this and get you up and printing on your Saturn 4 Ultra!
You could buy a cheap silicon funnel which would collapse at the worst possible time or have to fold and bend your filters to fit...or you could just buy the perfect funnel for resin printing once.
Bed adhesion is great with all of my filaments including ASA which I struggled with before. Once cooled the parts really do pop off like nothing.
I own a plate for each of my 3 Bambu printers and my resin printer. Love their product and support
I’m new to 3d printing. I got an x1 carbon like 2 years ago and just now had a chance to get it out. When I first bought it I also ordered this plate after hearing of people speak about it. I started out with the stock Bambu labs cold plate and glue stick and seemed like every print was kind of a pain to remove. Then I finally found where I put the whambam pex plate and the first print just popped right off on its own when the bed cooled. I thought maybe it was a fluke so I tried it again. It popped right off too. Everything I’ve tried has been firmly stuck while printing too. Give this plate a shot. You won’t be disappointed.
It's cold in the garage so I'm not printing much but I've been quite pleased with the design of this funnel. It works perfectly with the paper filter cones that I use when emptying my vat back into a bottle. It also cleans up easily with IPA. This is a great product, along with the new spatula.
It’s like printing on glass, but the glass is flexible and has a death grip on your prints until it cools to room temperature. Lightly scuff with steel wool and clean with alcohol between prints.
