Note: You should already have a Magnetic Base or bed clips installed on your printer as this is needed to use a Flexi Plate.
Make sure to rough up the PEX surface with 000 steel wool or red Composite Abrasive Pad (CAP is version 7447). On the first preparation, you will need to scuff in circles for 4-5 minutes until you have an even satin matte finish without seeing individual scratches with very little reflection. Clean repetitively with isopropyl alcohol >90% and a fresh/clean paper towel. Do not use other rags, microfiber, wipes, or towels, please see here.
If your machine has automatic bed leveling, run the leveling process and set your gap such that the first layer is well squished. For more details on achieving the right first layer squish, refer to this bed leveling guide.
If your printer uses manual leveling, follow the same guide for instructions on the leveling process.
Always read your filament spool label
Your hot end temperatures should be set within the range printed on the side of the spool of filament. The first 3 layers should be toward the lower temperature range to avoid damaging the PEX. For example, if the hot-end range is 200-230° C, start with 215°C or lower and adjust as needed for your first layer. For bed temperatures, stick with the Wham Bam recommended temperatures as shown in the chart below.
When trying a new filament
We always suggest that when changing filament types and brands or adjusting settings, always print a small test cube (or our Mini Whammy) in the far corner of your build surface. If you do not get good adhesion, you may need to adjust your settings or use glue stick to promote adhesion. If it sticks for the full print and comes off easily once cooled, you are probably good to go when printing larger parts. If it bonds too well, adjust your settings, or use glue stick. When in doubt, use glue stick as a barrier layer. PETG and some other filaments, such as ASA, stick too well and typically need a barrier layer.

After every print:
Always wait until the printed part and build plate are completely cool before flexing off and never flex when either is still warm. Never force off a print; always flex carefully once cool to remove the part.
After removing the parts always prepare the PEX for the next print by using either 000 steel wool, CAP pads, or a red Scotchbrite 7447 pad. Scuff for about 10 seconds, then clean with 90% or higher IPA and fresh paper. This will help to remove any traces of filament and prevent contaminant build up. Do not use rags, microfiber, wipes, or towels, please see here.
Using this plate without scuffing it results in glossy smooth finishes like glass
I used Wham Bam PEX sheets to improve the function of my old Ender3 Pro. And I found I needed a better smooth option for my X1C. Wham Bam delivered, and it is as good as ever. I strongly suggest you look at these if you want a smooth finish against the bed.
I never thought I could fall in love with a smooth printing plate, but wham Bam has made such a great plate. I don’t use anything else anymore. All of my prints come out buttery smooth on the bottom and I’ve had zero adhesion issues as long as you follow the directions about keeping the plate clean, no glue or hairspray needed for your prints to stick
I love all kinds of plates and got the wham bam to have one for that mirror like smooth finish we used to get with glass build plates. It’s definitely good for that as well as great adhesion.
I've been using Wham bam for a few years now. Never disappoints. I get great adhesion. The bed fits perfect on my X1C.
Updated Review:
I got this new plate and followed all supplied instructions using a stock X1C. On the first print the nozzle troe right through the surface and ruined the plate. Messaged support and the owner reached out. We were not able to figure out what when wrong but Peter went above and beyond trying to solve it including reaching out to a Bambu developer for thoughts. While the cause is still unknown Peter did not stop until I had a working plate.
Plate works very well now and I have gone from never wanting to do business with them again to being glad to buy from them and recommend them to friends.
Hi Patrick,
We are very sorry to hear you had this issue. It looks like your orginal request had a typo in the reply email so our reply went to an incorrect email. Our technical support team just followed up from technical@whambamsystems.com email to assist you!
Leaves a smooth matte finish on the bottom of the print. Has great adhesion. PEX coating is easily separated from base metal plate. I like the finish it leaves, but I won't spend $50 on another plate this fragile that won't last long, and has unusable areas after only a few prints. All manufacturer's directions and warnings have been followed.
While it certainly is costly than chinese options. get both! While it's a silly name, Wham bam is shipped for sunny FLA and exceptionally solid. The PEX produces a GLASS smooth finish, even on matte PLA! The sprung steel plate will last for YEARS after the PEX does. Bambu offers a similiar plate for a simliar price with coated treaments! Get this one and replace the PEX sheet as needed for 10$. Flexible indeed! Whambam is the r/BIFL option.
I have 2, one on each of my X1C's. I have a P1P that doesn't get used much only because I need to get another WB for it. This is by far the best build surface I've used. Everything sticks, perfect first layers all the time, and I can get through 4 day prints without ever having to worry about any part of the print coming loose. I print all PLA at 62C on these and never have any issues.
The PEX build surface works quite well and the quality is excellent. Try one you will not be disappointed.
Prints stick to the plate like s*** on shovel, straight out of the box. No glue required. When your finished printing it snaps off with ease & the base off the print has a mirror finish. After seeing the results of my first print I have purchased more sheets.
This company put up with my mistakes and issues and offered me solutions even though my frustration got the best of me. This is still the best plate I use, even after I messed it up and the support (especially being USA) is top-notch! Probably my absolute favorite build plate thus far, and even better than the chineseium plates I have tried. Adhesion is never an issue, even TPU comes off with very little effort and a plastic scraper. I'm still really new to 3d printing, but I haven't tried a better plate yet and this is my go-to.
When I had the issue they sent me a new sticker sheet to replace the screw up I made. I couldn't be happier with the support!
I bought this plate with recommendations from YouTube. At first it was working great but given that it was advertised to print without a layer of glue. My first print left some permanent marks on the build plate that could not be buffed off.
For some reason during a calibration process, the bambulab x1c didn’t detect the height of the build plate properly and dragged the extruded head across the plate which left a deep gouge and rendering it unusable. This is less than 2 weeks of ownership.
Definitely do not recommend
With the second time that I printed ABS, the surface of the plate was already damaged, I contacted the after-sales service sending them photos and asking them if it was normal, they did not even bother to respond, this has been 5 months ago... I do not advise the purchase, the price is very high for the quality it has.
Daniel,
Thank you for your follow up on this issue. You are completely correct, we dropped the ball with your email! We did respond to the email the same day but due to human error we did not CC our technical support team as promised. We have already created you a replacement order and we will have our technical director follow up with you personally about how to avoid having this issue again!
As always great product. I was getting frustrated with it at first and then realized that I had forgotten to scuff it with the steel wool. Now works great.
The original plate with the P1P isn’t bad but the Wham Bam plates always seem to hold onto prints better than the textured plates and the pop them right off
I love my Bambu Printers and the X1C Combo came with their cool plate which needs glue stick as a release agent. I am not a fan of the clean up and application so I took a chance on wham bam because I wanted a nice finish. I had the textured pei but the smoothness of PEX is outstanding. 10/10 would recommend. No adhesion issues or warping issues at all. Solid every time. Just bought a PEX sheet to cover the Engineering plate from Bambu lol.
Indeed I had problems with the first plate. It looked like not glued correct and got a sinkmark after first print. As well there was no response from their support. After my review here 2 guys of WB contacted me and solved the problem with a replacement. The new plate is now perfect. Thanks to the this support!
