Modding my 3D Printer: Upgrading to a Magnetic Build Plate

It turns out that one of the problems I've been having with my 3D printer is that air bubbles had started appearing under the build plate's surface. I tried pressing them out but one stubborn bubble in the middle of the plate persisted.

Cheap sample filament with the 3D printer. I guess cheap build plate also. The Tronxy XY-2 Pro comes with a 255 mm x 255 mm build plate that is held on to the printer with binder clips. That's not a joke. I've been clipping the build plate to my printer like it was a folder.

Rather than buy another build plate from Tronxy I upgraded to a magnetic build plate. No, magnetic build plates don't make you healthier. Neither does wearing magnet bracelets. That's not how magnets work you silly alternative medicine freaks.

The description for the YouTube video below has a aliexpress.com link for a magnetic steel plate and PEI sticker. Since I was already going to order some desiccant packets through amazon.com for storing my PLA filament I ordered virtually the same item made by FYSETC.

The great thing is now with PEI my models should adhere while being printed to the build plate without using painter's tape and glue sticks. Instead I now have to keep the surface clean with dish soap water and isopropyl alcohol,

Any problems with magnetic bed and high bed temps I have heard that they are not so good with Printing ABS and over 100degC bed temps

@print3dpro · 
Looking good man, mine came with a glass build plate that's decent, the clips that came stock were not good and I had to upgrade to binder clips. They work well enough but admittedly I do not like how much surface area they take up on my build plate, and for certain models I have to take extreme care to ensure the hot end will not bump into them. 

I'm guessing you have an aversion to glue sticks? :P
