Between filling orders, developing new products and the holidays, the last few weeks have really zipped by…

We have several new products and product variations in the works – here is a look at the soon to be released Heated Build Platform kit. We are using a 4″×4″×1/8" ceramic plate as the heated platform. Here you see the ceramic plate mounted on a modified Y stage and the acrylic build surface.

The modified Y stage. Yes, you are correct – four screw independent suspension!! Now you can level that stage without shims! Ring magnets will hold the ceramic plate to the Y stage.

There are still a few details to work out like which ceramic adhesive (to connect the heating element to the ceramic plate) to use in production. I’ve tested several – just need to decide and get it ordered. The kit should be available in about two weeks. There will also be a standalone control module that will be released a little later that will allow you to use your heated build platform without firmware changes. More to come…stay tuned…
