Salad Fork 180 Bed

The Salad Fork 180 Bed is machined out of 6.35mm thick 5083 Aluminum Cast Tooling plate and is 180mm^2.  We've used the specified hole layout available on the github which is sized to use the Prusa Mini flexplates with location pins for alignment. With a center hole, you could likely use our Kinematic kit on the Micron or TinyT as well.  The bed is available with No Magnets, 5 magnets, or 9 magnets. Our magbeds are a top magnet design and has incredible holding power with it's N48SH neodynium magnets good up to 150C which are attached to the bed with countersunk screws . The magnets are recessed slightly below the surface of the bed.  They have a pulling force of 11 lbs. Comes with 150C magnets standard, flatness tolerance of 0.2mm or flatter. Please Note: We make the beds when the order arrives, so there is a 1-5 day lead time on these beds before we can ship. Flex Plate Choices:  Our magbeds are a top magnet design bed, meaning that the magnets are slightly below the surface of the magbed.  We are happy to be able to provide some flexplates, with, or without a print surface, called the FireThorns.  Thinner sheets may dimple slightly under the magnet. A lot of China build plates are not up to the challenge.   IMPORTANT NOTE: If at any point you decide to remove the magnets, first of all, when reinstalling the screws, turn the screw backwards until you feel the threads in the screw jump the threads in the bed. Once you feel that little bump, turn the screw in until it gets to the "screw stops turning point" with zero strength behind it. Once the screw has stopped turning, tighten it 1/32nd of a turn and NO MORE. Overtightening WILL shatter the magnets.   Also important is do NOT let the magnets snap together.  They will shatter.  Put a plastic washer or cardboard between each magnet.
