Hello,
I am having an issue with the heated bed adhering to the build plate. The Build Plate seems to be warped a little bit causing the tape to fail. I have ordered some 3M F9473PC to try and add more tape in order to keep this from occurring? Any other suggestions to resolve this issue?
The black platform should be mostly flat, if it's very badly bent you will need a replacement.
Thank you for the response I have sent the form in to get a replacement
My build plate seemed flat and the tape appeared to adhere well during assembly (cleaned surfaces with IPA prior to applying tape), however the build plate warps as soon as heat is applied. Pic below shows deflection at 50C. The warp goes away after the bed cools.
Do you suggest stronger tape? Would proper adhesion to the heated bed add enough support to eliminate the deflection as the build plate expands?
I have the same issue of the build plate being bent a few mm so it doesn't stick to the heatbed any more. I will first assemble the printer completely to be sure there are no more defects and then use the form to ask for a replacement.
@Adeel:
- Will the new build plate come with tape to stick it to the heatbed?
- How do you recommend removing the (no more sticking) tape from the heatbed? (hair dryer?)
Hello,
I have the same issue. The heating surface doesn't stick to the plate.
In fact, after some days, I notice that my plate is not flat anymore.

Same Problem. What kind of glue may I take?
with there expansion of metal when it is heated. you may want to try to loosen the standoffs. preheat the bed. then cinch down the standoffs. make sure the height adjustment screw isn't tightened all the way down. the more rigidly these standoffs are connected to the bed the more likely the expansion will cause a bowing of the steel rather than spread out. so, once tightened back them each off about a half turn. and start your bed leveling adjustments from there.only adjust the height upward, as down would tighten the contact point.
personally i'm not currently having the bowing issue. at least not to to the degree the above people are. but coming across this subject i have thought about adding more support to the bed. my plan is to drill holes every 100mm or so along the perimeter. adding a standoff and adjustment screw/spring at each of this points. it seems the heating board would accommodate the extra holes. would need to move the extruded crossmember out to give the extra standoff along the 200mm sides somewhere to attach. the extra supports/adjustments along the perimeter would minimized the affects of warping. i could use the edge of a ruler to check the center of the bed for flatness. though the thinking here is if the perimeter is flat the center should be as well.
Also have a bed black plate with center bow Upwards. First supplied tape failed in minutes, I put on new tape, covering most of the plate bottom and stuck it to the heat pl
