I don’t much like textured PEI. I much prefer smoother build surfaces for making precision parts such as Creality’s smooth PEI and epoxy build plates. Does anyone know of any other build plates for the Zero or have a good method to cut bigger ones to fit? Has anyone tried using a sticker or garol…

Thanks! I was thinking of trying to cut a plate using tin snips but mine often leave a curled lip at the edge of a cut. But I’ve also got a dremel and I think some of the fragile cutoff discs left and may give it a go with that. Just realized I’ve got a couple very old plates in rough shape that …

Got a plate half cut and broke my last cutoff disc. Got a supposedly better EZ506HP cutoff disc in my shopping cart but waiting to add something else for free shipping. Has anyone tried plates for other printers such as the Ender 2, KP3S or A1 mini and used them without cutting just letting them o…

I got a smooth build plate for a K3P or K3PS, 180mm x 180mm. It is a square cut plate without cuts for alignment keys. It is working fine on my zero overhanging in the front but with plenty of clearance to the door and overhanging on the right with a little clearance to the Z screw. It is a bit …

Something I came across. Wham Bam sells plates for the Ender 2, which is 165x165. Not an exact fit for the Zero, but closer than A1 Mini plates at 180x180 Textured PEI, Smooth PEI, Smooth PEX, and Polycarbonate I’m expecting my Zero this coming week. I’ve got a handful of A1 Mini plates, but if t…

[image] msheldon: Not an exact fit for the Zero Zero has pegs both at the front and back of the bed base for aligning the build plate. If the replacement build plate doesn’t fit in between those then it will not sit level. Additionally there’s the brush on the left side so there’s not much sp…

No, not exact, but surpisingly close. The Zero bed is 162mm wide, and 162mm from the inside of the rear locator insets to the front locator. The Ender 2 bed is 165x165, the back of the plate is square. So, you could cut 3mm insets slightly off center to keep the left edge clear of the nozzle brush…

I’ve been using an over sized plate that overhangs in front with no issue so far although I have only done smaller prints on it with nothing close to the front of the bed. Also the plate I got was $7 and quite thin and flexible and perhaps a better stiffer plate might not work as well.

I’m really leaning toward cutting down the front locator tab. It really doesn’t do anything useful.

I’m inclined to agree. Having two tabs on the front sides of the build plate is useful when the build plate is 350x350 or 500x500, but I don’t want to grab a 165x165 build plate with both hands. My inclination is to grab the front center tab, which the Sovol Zero build plate doesn’t have. Having …
