If you are building a machine of a different size, please refer to the following list for the correct bed measurement for your machine:

  • 200x200: 229x229x5mm
  • 300x300: 329x329x6mm
  • 400x400: 429x429x6mm
  • 500x500: 529x529x6mm

  1. 1x 329x329x6mm Machined Bed Plate

    • 1x 329x329x6mm Machined Bed Plate

    • 3x Aluminium Spacer - 6mm

    • 3x Threaded Steel Ball

    • 3x M5x16 Countersink Screw

  2. To prevent scratches, the bed plate is shipped with a protective film on both sides. Gently peel off the protective film. Repeat for the other side.
