Trying out Flatforce
January 08, 2017 07:29AM
Hi all,

Just received my Flatforce print surface. Interesting stuff. Simple 3 mm thick carbon fiber sheet, but with very rough and dimpled working surface.
Just doing a quick print now using PLA and it grips well at 45C. I am looking forward to try it out with the nGen I have and I still have some nylon to test out as well.
They advise not to use wood fill or such, but I will certainly try Ninjaflex as I just received a roll of that.

Touching the surface while printing, I can hardly feel it is heated, so I would not be surprised if I can simply print cold. I will be trying that as well.

I only have a small sample, but if it's as good as it looks so far, I might just have to go to the full sized circle for my delta. That will cost me! This stuff is not cheap.
Anybody else have experience with this stuff?

I will post updates if and when I have em.
