Build plates for Elegoo 3D printers

Build platforms for resin 3D printers are critical components that provide a stable surface for models to adhere to during printing. Over time, wear and tear, such as surface damage or reduced adhesion properties, can affect print quality, making replacement necessary. These build platforms are official replacement platforms for the Elegoo resin 3D printers.

Build platform for Jupiter SE

The build platform for the Elegoo Jupiter SE resin 3D printer measures 287 x 166 x 11.8 mm and is constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy. It features a laser-carved surface that undergoes sandblasting and oxidation beforehand. This process creates a textured surface that significantly improves adhesion, ensuring models remain securely attached during printing. The excellent flatness provides a stable surface for precise 3D printing, meeting the high standards of professional applications. This robust design enhances both the accuracy and dependability of prints, catering to demanding workflows.

Additionally, the 4-point leveling system requires only a single calibration, streamlining setup and ensuring consistent print quality while saving time. For user convenience, the platform features a rotary handle for quick release and secure tightening, making installation and removal simple and efficient. An included Allen wrench further facilitates easy replacement, minimizing downtime during swaps.

Build platform for Saturn 8K

The build platform for the Saturn 8K resin 3D printer is designed for stability and durability, measuring 225 x 129 x 12 mm. Constructed from AL6061 aluminum alloy, it offers excellent flatness and resistance to deformation, ensuring long-term reliability. The surface is sandblasted to enhance adhesion, providing a strong bond during printing, especially when dealing with large models. This results in more consistent prints with fewer chances of model detachment, ensuring higher print quality.

Equipped with a large hexagon socket leveling screw, the platform provides more stable and lasting leveling performance, contributing to more accurate prints. Its user-friendly design includes Allen wrenches for easy installation and maintenance, making it simple to replace or tighten the build plate screws. With its easy-to-clean surface and efficient setup process, this build platform is an ideal choice for users seeking high printing efficiency with minimal hassle.

Build platform for Saturn 3 Ultra

The build platform for the Saturn 3 Ultra 3D printer is designed for convenience and performance, featuring a four-point leveling system that requires only a single calibration. This streamlined leveling process eliminates the need for frequent adjustments, saving time and ensuring consistent print quality. The platform's laser-carved surface improves adhesion during printing, while also allowing for easy removal of models after completion.

Constructed from durable aluminum alloy, the platform maintains excellent flatness and is resistant to deformation, providing a stable and reliable surface for precise 3D printing. To further enhance ease of maintenance, the build plate screws are equipped with end caps, preventing resin from flowing inside and ensuring that cleaning is quick and hassle-free. An Allen wrench is included, allowing for effortless replacement or adjustment of the screws, making this platform a practical and efficient choice for users.

Build platform for Saturn 4/4 Ultra

The build platform of the Saturn 4 and Saturn 4 Ultra printers features an advanced design with built-in leveling shims, springs, and a precise mechanical sensor for automatic leveling. This ensures a perfectly calibrated surface, allowing for optimal print quality. Its dual-sided black sandblasted laser-carved texture significantly enhances adhesion, reducing the risk of warping and detachment during the printing process.

Constructed from durable aluminum alloy, the build plate is resilient against the exposure to resin and repeated use, guaranteeing long-lasting performance. Its design allows for easy model removal without damage, while also simplifying post-processing tasks such as cleaning and curing. With a generous build volume of 218 x 122 x 220 mm³, the platform accommodates both larger prints and multiple smaller objects, offering versatile printing capabilities.

Proper maintenance of build platforms

To maintain the build platform, it is essential to clean it before and after each print. Use paper towels and alcohol to remove any residue and ensure the surface is free from bumps or burrs, which could affect print quality. Regular cleaning helps preserve the platform's adhesion properties and extends its lifespan.

In addition to regular cleaning, it's important to check the platform for any signs of wear, such as scratches or surface damage, as these can impact adhesion and print accuracy. Ensure the platform remains properly leveled to prevent uneven prints, and always handle it carefully to avoid damaging the LCD screen.
