Installing Fula-Flex 3.0

Use this guide to start printing with your Fula-Flex 3.0!

Recommended Printing Bed Temperatures

PLA : 70°C

ABS/ASA : 110°C

PETG: 90°C

TPU: 50°C

Step One

Power Off & Unplug your Printer

  • Ensure that the printer is powered off and unplugged from the electrical outlet.
  • Allow the printer to cool down if it was in use recently.

Step Two

Remove any existing removable build surfaces

  • Carefully remove any existing removable build surfaces, such as glass, BuildTak, or other printing surfaces, from your 3D printer's build platform.
  • Consult your printer's user manual for specific instructions on removing these surfaces, if necessary.

Step Three

Clean the printer's build platform

  • Clean the printer's build platform with isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaning solution, using a lint-free cloth or paper towel.

Step Four

Align and attach the magnetic base

  • Remove any protective film from the magnetic base of the Fula-Flex 3.0 system.
  • Carefully align the magnetic base with the printer's build platform, making sure the edges are flush and even.
  • Gradually press down on the magnetic base, starting from one end and moving toward the other, to ensure a secure bond and eliminate air bubbles.
  • If your printer already has a magnet base, you can opt to skip replacing it with the Fulament magnet. However, OEM magnets tend to be weaker and have lower temperature resistance.

Step Five

Clean the steel sheet

  • Clean the steel sheet with isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaning solution, using a lint-free cloth or paper towel.
  • Remove any protective film from the sheet.

Step Six

Align and attach the steel sheet

  • Place the steel sheet onto the magnetic base, aligning the edges flush with the base.
  • The magnetic attraction will hold the sheet in place. Ensure it is properly seated and secure.

Step Seven

Level the printer's build platform

  • If your printer requires manual leveling, follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure a level build platform with the Fula-Flex 3.0 system installed.

Step Eight

Start a test print

  • Power on the printer and load your desired filament.
  • Start a test print to verify the adhesion and function of the Fula-Flex 3.0 system.
  • Observe the first few layers to ensure proper adhesion and make any necessary adjustments.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Fula-Flex 3.0 flex plate system onto your 3D printer. Enjoy easier print removal and improved print adhesion. Remember to clean the steel sheet with isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaning solution between prints for optimal performance.
