With a 12.4 x 12.2" build area, you have plenty of room for your creations with the top layer providing you with enhanced adhesion, preventing model slippage during the printing process. Integrated magnets keep the build plate connected to your printer and can be easily removed. Flexible steel design allows you to easily remove the finished model from the platform.
