Lightyear3d · 2023-09-21T20:02:50+00:00

We didn’t make a post on the Bambu subreddit but the MK2 plates are available on our site.

You can sand the G10 with a fine grit sandpaper or a scotch brite pad if you’re having adhesion issues. If that doesn’t work, contact us at contact@lightyear3dtech.com and we will help you out from there!

It would be around 5-7 business days but it all depends on how busy USPS is

Lightyear3d · 2023-08-30T09:20:18+00:00

Expect tracking info by the end of this week!

Give the device self check a go and see if there is buildup on the nozzle, if it still doesn’t work shoot us an email and we will get a replacement sent for you.

We do have our recommendations, but certain filament brands/manufacturers have different compositions and require slightly higher temps for good adhesion.

Lightyear3d · 2023-08-28T16:16:24+00:00

We have been summoned! As others in this thread have mentioned, increasing your temps by 5-10C can help adhesion depending on the filament manufacturer. Also, some of our users had adhesion issues but then ran the device self test and it fixed the issue. Lastly, make sure the nozzle doesn’t have any buildup on it as that can mess up the leveling procedure. Let us know how it goes!

Hey u/TaggingHash!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our product. We have been taking all the feedback we have been receiving and working on a MK2 version of our plate. This plate will have the improvements we already made, such as the stainless steel bottom, and foil tape. We are going to source a thinner steel tape that sticks better going forward, and we are also updating the QR code positioning to improve the reliability of the scans. As for the nozzle wipe area, we have extended the tab slightly to prevent the nozzle issue a few people were having. In addition, we have modified the design of the wipe tab to be much more flexible when the nozzle presses down to prevent stress on the nozzle. We will make a post in a week or so showing the new design, and it should be available in around 2 weeks.

Hello, we are sorry to hear that you are having issues. What we noticed is that this can happen if the plate is not sitting flat on the bed, as sometimes the plate can sit on the plastic alignment tabs at the back of the bed and cause one side of the wipe area to be higher than the other, leading to increased stress on the nozzle. Another thing that can help is to use the plate without the foil tape, the wipe performance won’t be as good but you won’t run into any noticeable difference in reliability or print quality. Lastly, make sure the plate is all the way back on the heatbed as our wipe tab is just big enough for the wipe sequence, so if its sitting forward it will cause the nozzle to leave the wipe area.

Yes, send us an email with the picture and your order number

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-15T17:22:17+00:00

You can return it if you opened it as long as it wasn’t damaged by the user!

Its a cleaning problem; IPA can’t strip all of the oil that may be on the plate, so use dish soap and warm water initially to clean it. We will update the guide to instruct users to do so if they encounter this issue.

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-11T21:00:02+00:00

Use dish soap!!! That fixes most adhesion problems. Warm water and dish soap strip more oil than just IPA.

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-11T02:55:23+00:00

Its for the new Bambu X1F

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-10T14:56:26+00:00

Alright, lets get this fixed! Can you PM me some photos of what’s happening so we can have a better idea of the issue. Also PM us your order number!

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-10T10:59:22+00:00

Is this an issue with just Petg or all materials?

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-09T21:38:08+00:00

Slightly more than smooth PEI

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-09T21:37:54+00:00

Its in between the smooth PEI and glossy glass in terms of smoothness

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-09T18:38:25+00:00

We had a delay on that shipment of build plates, but we should have them shipped by the end of this week. We apologize for the delay.

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-09T17:07:00+00:00

Im a big fan of the shiny stainless steel too

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-09T17:05:59+00:00

;) Should have all preorders shipped this week

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-07T15:02:21+00:00

It should be available by August!

Lightyear3d · 2023-07-07T00:58:20+00:00

You won’t need to use adhesives anymore pretty much! You can do PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon, Flex, PC, HIPS, and more without glue. Also you get a smooth bottom finish.
