Fulament Fula-Flex 2.0 Magnetic Spring Steel Smooth PEI Flex Bed

 Hi everyone! So I recently have been looking for a way to get my prints off the printer in a cleaner way. I have been traying the typical hair spray / glue stick on the glass bed and that has done me well so far but I was really looking for something a bit easier to use. I recently came across a flexible bed made by Fulament. Now I have seen these flexible beds before but they always seemed to be cheap thin little parts that I was worried would never stay flat. This bed is however is great, for just $50 (a bit more if you want the textured version) is very thick. On top of that the magnet comes with a very sticky adhesive 3M backing and stuck solid to the aluminum platform. Installation process was simple 1. Take off the glass 2. Clean the surface with the supplied alcohol pads 3. Attached the magnet and snap on the plate. 4. re-level the print bed That's it! Print performance has been great, I have done a dozen prints or so and they come of clean and I don't have to wash off

Creality CR-10 V3 review

 Creality CR-10 V3 I have been in the additive manufacturing space since 2007 when the company I worked for bought a SLS 3D printing machine. I have since watched the space take off and more importantly the prices come down. SO after much research I went ahead and bought a CR-10 V3. Some of the key features that I like included with the 3D Printer 1. 300x300x400mm Build space, this is huge and will cove most everything I wanted to print. 2. Full metal hot end, I wanted to be able to print ABS and PETG so this was a must for the higher print temps than just for PLA or PLA+ 3. Direct Drive for filament, I much preferred the filament being feed directly with the Titan drive over the bowden tube setup found on most printers in this price range.   4. Huge community, eventually you are going to run into a snag and having a large user base to help you out is amazing In January 2021 I purchased the unit on amazon for $499, it has come down in price since then You can check current price here:
