The flexible build plate consists of a glass buildplate with magnets and a magnetic flexible sheet. The product is assembled and ready to place on the printer.
- This product is only intended for autocalibration units.
- At the moment, the X/Y autocalibration procedure can not be done with the flexible buildplate installed, so we highly recommend keeping the previous glass for this calibration.
- It is recommended to run the buildplate levelling and Z autocalibration after installing it.
The flexible buildplate should be installed the same way as the current printing glass, making sure it's correctly positioned:

After a print job, always wait for the hotbed to cool down before removing the flexible sheet from the printer to avoid hurting yourself and/or damaging the buildplate.
The flexible buildplate sheet can be easily removed from the magnetic by lifting this specific area:
To remove a part, the flexible sheet can be bent to easily remove the part and clean it with water and soap, always making sure it is dry before reinstalling it on the printer.

If the plate is to be replaced after removal, care must be taken to avoid scratching the magnetic surface. You can use the arrows as a guide to position the plate correctly.
