SIMPLE UPGRADE, BIG RESULTS
No matter the shape, size, or design of your 3D printer, adding a BuildTak FlexPlate System converts it to a removable print bed system. Instead of reaching into your 3D printer and removing parts there, you can now remove your FlexPlate from the entire print bed along with your finished 3D printed part. Take your FlexPlate and finished part to your chosen workspace, bend the FlexPlate in any direction, and your 3D print should effortlessly pop off of the BuildTak print surface. This simple upgrade to your 3D printer can make a world of difference. Once you experience the ease of using a FlexPlate with BuildTak, you’ll never want to print on anything else.
MAXIMIZE YOUR MACHINE TIME
BuildTak Sheets have been a favorite 3D printing surface for over two years, and the FlexPlate System makes utilizing BuildTak even easier. Available in a variety of sizes to fit all kinds of 3D printers on the market, simply install the Magnetic Base on top of your 3D printer’s existing print bed, adhere a BuildTak sheet to the FlexPlate, and magnetically attach the FlexPlate to the Magnetic Base. After your 3D print is finished, the FlexPlate with the BuildTak sheet can be easily detached from the print bed, flexed in any direction, and with a gentle twist, your 3D printed part should separate from the print bed cleanly. Replace the FlexPlate back onto the Magnetic Base, and you're ready to print again!
The BuildTak FlexPlate makes removing prints quick and easy!

Questions
I installed it per the instructions, eluding setting the build height to >0.25 mm, and on the first ABS print I got such excessive adhesion that when I removed the part the top film tore. The bead temp was 100C. What should I have done differ try?
Do you have a solution for the MakerBot replicator 5th gen
Do it will works for ESD filament and what is the print bed temp set up also the total temp set up
Per your description, 9x10 is the wrong size for the Robo 3D Printer. It needs to be a 10x10.
FlashForge Creator PRO and Dreamer - will this work with them?
Can i use the same size in my Ultimaker 2 Extended +
I currently have a glass build plate on top of an aluminum heated bed (home made). The glass is held on by 'bull dog' clips. I've placed small square pieces of copper foil tape in the corners of the glass for the use of an inductive probe. Does the TAK build plate have enough metal in it to trigger an inductive probe, and how would I mount the system onto my bed?
Could you please describe what's actually included, like a list of parts?
After installing, I did manual leveling on my Ultimaker 3, but it fails every time the active leveling starts. Do you know of a fix for this?
Do you offer educator discounts?
How does this handle the heated nozzles when leveling an Ultimaker 3?
Well Hello there @Answer Grape! The flex plate is not really reversible and I would recommend getting another "Extra Plate" to coat in wither PVA glue on the top surface or a thin Garolite plate to use. I have a thin Garolite plate I use on my PulseXE here in the office. Drop us an email at Support@matterhackers.com for more info!
Jello! I'm REALLY CONFLICTED here about the nylon thing. Were it NOT for that reportedly NOT WORKING with this, I'd be ALL OVER this slick trick! So I'm trying to find a decent work-around to try on the flip side of the flex plate??? Can't help but wonder, though: Taulman says several of their nylons work on glue-coated BuildTak? Sensei, what is truth???
I already have the pulse XE, how will this impact the Garolite surface prepped for nylonx?
Are the flex plates supposed to be trimmed to fit?
What size fits an Ultimaker 2+? The available sizes are either too small or too large for the Ultimaker 2+'s 223mm x 223m build surface. Are the flex plates supposed to be trimmed to fit?
I’m considering upgrading my Original Prusa i3 MK2S with the FlexPlate System. Will it work with the Prusa’s autoleveling and calibration feature? Do I need to take anything into account when putting the magnetic base on top of the PEI sheet?
In my question above, I meant to say "on top of the MK42 without removing its PEI sheet?"
I have a Prusa MK42 build plate. Which size BuildTak flex system will fit? The 9" x 10"? Can I put the Magnetic base on top of the MK42 with remove its PEI sheet? Thanks.
My bed is 270x220. If I used the 9x10 the base would stick out about 4mm on either side. Would this be a problem with its operation? Would I have to go for a smaller version? There's also the screws for the bed, that are about 10mm from the short edge and 35mm from the long edge. Would the base cover these screws?
Will this withstand auto leveling (Ultimaker 3) where the print head touches the platform?
Is the actual build surface intended to be permanent or is it more of a consumable that is replaced on a regular basis and, if so, how many prints can you generally get out of one sheet?
(1) Which size is recommended for the Lulzbot TAZ6 (12"x12" or 9"x10")? (2) Is the removable layer easy to clean? (3) How frequently should I replace the removable film? (4) Is the magnetic base difficult to remove?
Do you have a version that is compatible with the MakerGear M3ID that you sell?
What size should be chosen for Ultimaker 3 and Robo R2?
My prints are lifting off of the build plate with the BuildTak. I have an Ultimaker 2+. I have re-leveled it. It starts out okay, but then the print lifts off. Suggestions? I've added glue from a glue stick.
What is the maximum temperature the BuildTak System can withstand?
Are you able to order a different size? I have an old Makerbot Clone with the 6x9 build plate. I can see it on BuildTek's website, but you dont have that size here.
Has anyone installed one of these on a BCN3D Sigma?
I am thinking about using this with a Taz 6. Would this work with Matterhackers Pro PETG? Also, would you have to apply gluestick to the buildtak flexplate or would it suffice without it?
anyone try this with a prusa i3 mk2?
I see all kinds of descriptions on how it releases the print, but what about adhesion, how well does this system work with all the different filaments?
Do you make a 8" x 10" for MakerGear M3?
