Magnets are all over. It does a really good job @ keeping the steel sheet in place. There is a small brim but on the outside of the brim there is a 1.3mm wide skirt/wall. Which has always help w/ preventing warping for me in the past.
So I've finally got into making some signs instead of carving hunks of aluminum. I'm really happy with how this and the other piece turned out. A simple piece of shelving pine from HD, a bit of leftover Minwax, a ridiculously short time on the router (about 10 minutes including the bit change and 7 passes around the outside to cut it out) and voila!
I still have to do a quick pass on the sanding wheel and stain the outside edge but I'm really happy with how the v-carving went. I've got another piece to show that's more complicated, but that will have to wait until after October 25th (wedding date).

So I've realized that most likely I'm SOL but figured I'd post anyways. I've borrowed an Ender 2 from a friend and the print bed is warped. It also won't heat the bed past ~65C, which can be worked around as I'm not printing ABS, but it sure is annoying. I can't seem to find any replacements anywhere and with the heating issue I'm hesitant about going with a glass plate.
Does anybody know where I can source them or should I just hand it back and go about finding a new printer? My budget would be low for a new one, so some suggestions on the lower end would be appreciated. I've gotten good results out of this Ender 2 so I'm sure just about anything would be an upgrade.

What about a glass plate and a silicon heater combination? It's impossible to find a 150x150mm bed. https://www.banggood.com/110V220V-1...0.html?rmmds=search&ID=48035&cur_warehouse=CN

Had enough of that bowden tube disconnecting at the extruder, so goodbye tube and hello direct drive. 40$ for the basic kit over at Aliexpress, since I already had the bmg extruder on hand.
Calibration is tomorrow night.

I mostly missed this thread when I started the one under peripherals. apologies. (I'll have to go through this one again... I've browsed it while posts were being made, but without a printer on hand it was mostly over my head.....

Real Bondtech BMG?
Are you using a pancake stepper?

yeah direct drive i find is a lot more reliable, also would make printing with flexible filaments a lot easier.
