Wham Bam Flexible Build System - 370x377mm

With so much constant development in 3D Printing, it’s easy to miss some of the great new goodies that get brought to the market each year. Fortunately, we try our best to find awesome brands that can deliver genuinely awesome products, and Wham Bam is a great example of such an awesome brand. These Wham Bam Flexible Build Systems are designed to blend the best of both great Bed Adhesion and user convenience into one, and utilise a clever three part system so that you can print on great build surfaces, while enjoying portable platforms that “pop” off prints with ease. This is the kind of innovation we love seeing, and it always feels especially great when it comes from such a personable brand like Wham Bam!

This Wham Bam Flexible Build System is 377x370mm in total size, and is ready to deliver great adhesion for an extensive range of different 3D Filaments. It’s specifically sized to accommodate the popular Creality Ender 5 Plus, offering the 350x350mm build volume with some extra space along the edges, so that it perfectly matches the actual bed size of the bed for optimal magnetic grip. The actual build surface that sits atop the spring steel plate is made of PEX, or Cross-Linked Polyethylene, and this is similar to PEI, although it offers an even higher glass transition rate and melting point. This small difference results in excellent adhesion at temperatures above 50°C, while also ensuring that this surface doesn’t fall victim to annoying surface bonding from over-adhesion – similar to how PETG tends to bond into PEI beds.

These awesome adhesion-quality and convenience features all add up to one truly amazing package, and there aren’t many other Build Systems like this that can compete with such awesome features at such a great price. So if you’ve always loved the idea of having a removable build plate, but have always been troubled by the common problems associated with a removable magnetic build surface, the Wham Bam Flexible Build System is the solution that won’t demagnetise, won’t layer shift unexpectedly, and won’t deform even after hundreds of bends, twists and flexes. 

Please Note: While most Magnetic Build Surfaces typically suffer from loss of magnetism at high temperatures, these Wham Bam Build Systems have been specially designed to handle temperatures of up to 150°C without problem. So feel free to print ABS and other high temperature filaments to your heart’s content, without having to worry about your bed slipping loose or having similar issues from the extended periods of high temperatures.

Finally, the following video is a great review and build guide for the Wham Bam Flexible Build System from Teaching Tech, in which he compares it to the classic Creality CMagnet Bed, and shows off some of the key features that set it apart from competitors:

Wham Bam Systems is a funky, lively brand created by Peter Solomon, who has actually been a relatively well known inventor for 45 years now. From developing laboratory methods and protocols, to work on complex interferometer mechanisms, Peter has been applying for patents since as far back as 1984 – and now his most recent work is the reinvention of the 3D Printer Build Platform. This is how Wham Bam Systems started, and since 2019 they have been gaining popularity as some of the most effective and most convenient build plate systems on the market.

Catering to a large range of popular 3D Printers from leading hobbyist 3D Printer brands, Wham Bam Systems offers some of the best build plates on the market, and with the recent addition of the Wham Bam HotBox to their catalogue, we can’t wait to see what else Wham Bam Systems has in the pipeline for future upgrades.
