Bed adhesion in 3D Printing has always been quite a tricky beast to tame, especially since it starts from the moment you begin levelling your bed and goes all the way through to the first layer or brim. This is why we’re always delighted to get cool new 3D Printer Accessories like the Wham Bam collection of Flexible Build Systems, which are designed specifically to make the lives of 3D Makers easier than ever before, with a three-part build platform that not only makes 3D Printers more convenient, but also more consistent through each print. Compared to the standard bed style, which typically goes through a fair amount of stress during removals of prints, Wham Bam Flexible Build Systems feature a spring steel plate and a magnetic base, allowing you to simply pull the plate off, flex it to “pop” the prints off, and then slap it straight back onto the magnet base without ever exerting unnecessary force on the bed platform – resulting in a more consistent bed level through multiple prints, as well as one of the easiest print removals that even rival the impressive Anycubic UltraBase design.
This Wham Bam Flexible Build System is designed to be 470x470mm in size, so as to perfectly fit the large bed of the Creality CR-10 MAX, ensuring excellent adhesion for many different 3D Filaments from the basics to the exotics. The actual build surface is made from a material called PEX, and it sits atop the spring steel plate, which of course magnetises to the magnetic base. This PEX Build Surface is quite like PEI, although it offers an even higher glass transition rate and melting point, resulting 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.
These awesome convenience and adhesion-quality 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, then 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.

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.
