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.
Prints have a smooth glass like bottom and holds very well. Definitely recommended
Great Build Plate if you're having trouble making your projects to stick. Just be aware of the glossy finish it makes. Having said that, I have 3 of them, so if you're looking for the ultimate sticky build surface this is the one for you.
I broke down and bought a Wham Bam plate because I was having an issue removing ABS prints off a build plate. I would have to resort to chiseling the prints off. I was simply amazed with my first ABS print on the Wham Bam plate. After a few minutes of cooling, the printer literally just slid off when I picked up the plate. I've since used the Wham Bam plate on TPU, PETG, PLA, Hips and ASA and every time, the prints just slide right off after cooling. It's amazing!
This plate has been used for a hundred hours of prints. It is holding up very well. Even with using adhesive promoter am able to get parts off with ease. ABS has been leaving marks but do not affect adhesion. Would reccommend.
I have several build plates and this one is the best I have used. I have been able to print asa, pla, abs, nylon with no glue, nothing. Print your item. Let it cool down. Parts slide right off. Simple clean up with rubbing alcohol, scuff it with 000 pad and get back at it. Seriously if you been thru asa, abs with other build plates worrying about adhesion problems. Don’t hesitate and buy this
