The new V7 print bed I

Submitted by tetralite on Wed, 2013-01-16 20:21.

The new V7 print bed I received yesterday, Jan 15, 2013, is warped along the X axis (Y axis is straight) making the center .381mm higher than the left and right edges. I used a dial indicator and feeler gauges to confirm this bow in the V7 bed. I have submitted a ticket to BFB requesting information on how to exchange it for a straight bed. Since I am in the US, this is no fun because of the shipping time and bother. I will report satisfaction here in a future review if and when satisfaction is achieved.

Simply love the new bed! Been using it for some time now... It is consistent and flat!

as with all print beds there is a "sweet spot" with getting the z height set, get it right and prints stick beautifully (too high and its not so good, too low and I had difficulty removing an abs raft) 

A huge improvement.

I have had the v7 printbed

Submitted by Raizer04 on Tue, 2012-12-11 02:08.

I have had the v7 printbed for nearly a month. This printbed is in fact better than the previous models. The problem still arises in which IT DOESNT STICK TO THE BOARD. Anything small printed on this will come out just fine. Print something big and the printer just spews plastic everywhere or you just get a blob of a product. BFB READ YOUR FORUMS. 90% of people who buy your printers are modding them to use a heated printbed so things can stick properly and print correctly. I give this a 2 out of 10 stars... NOT a happy customer
