Introduction
Learn how to properly install your Fula-Flex 2.0!
-
-
The first step is to select a surface to apply the magnet to. If your printer comes with a glass or aluminum build plate, you can stick the magnet right on top of either surface.
-
If your printer has a top plastic build surface, please remove it before installation.
-
-
-
After selecting your surface, it is very important to ensure it is clean of any dust, grease, or debris before installing.
-
Thoroughly wipe down your surface using IPA and a microber cloth.
-
-
-
We recommend peeling back the top left corner of the magnet and aligning it with the top left corner of your build plate.
-
-
-
Once your corner is aligned, lift the magnet up from the opposite corner, and start pulling back on the remaining adhesive backing.
-
Slowly apply and smooth the magnet down with your hand until it is fully attached.
-
-
-
Once applied, use a credit card or ID to try and remove any bubbles.
-
If there are large air bubbles that you can not force out with a card, use a pin to pop them. Getting the pin to penetrate through the magnet will take some force, but the bubble should easily deflate after
-
-
-
Grab your Fula-Flex 2.0 plate and peel the protective plastic off of the Smooth PEI.
-
An easy indication of whether your Fula-Flex 2.0 has a protective layer is the finish of the plate. If the plate is glossy, then the protective plastic is present. If matte, then you can skip this step as this is the bare PEI.

Through hundreds of thousands of printing hours, our team has been able to dial in settings very well. Follow these slicer changes for optimal adhesion.
-
Change your slicer settings to the following: First Layer height: 0.30mm First Layer Width: 125%, PLA Bed Temperature: 70°, PETG Bed Temperature: 90°
-
All available slicers will have these as editable settings.

-
Attach your Fula-Flex plate to the magnet and re-level the surface!

Congratulations on installing your new Fula-Flex 2.0! You are now ready to start flexing :)
