ELEGOO Building Plate for Mars 2 and Mars 2 Pro LCD 3D Printer with Anti-Slip Hexagon Socket Screws and Sandblasted Surface, Compatible with Mars 2 and Mars 2 Pro

I purchased this to replace my build plate on my Elegoo Mars 2 because the set screws no longer held the build plate steady. Its an even swap and the dimensions are identical. It came with a new knob with the elegoo logo engraved into it. It also has a better surface than the previous build plate. My old one was one piece all aluminum and the face of the plate was the same as the rest of the construction. On this version, there is a piece of white/silver aluminum on the face of the build plate with much more textured surface area and the adhesion is great. Its almost too good! Im having to work a little harder to free my models from the build plate now! This is literally plug in play. 1. Remove the old build plate and save or discard. (mine isn really salvageable so I had to toss it :( ) 2. Install the new build plate 3. Level the printer 4. Print! I was annoyed that I had to spend yet another $30 on this added to the long list of consumable parts on this printer (FEP, LCD), but this is actually a nice upgrade compared to the old one, and Im regretting it less now. Glad to get back up and running without much down time!

Perfect fit for the mars 2 pro. At first print, it wouldnt stick to the build plate, after a little bit of sanding it worked beautifully. Always nice to have a second one.

This plate has the sandblasted aluminum surface. I honestly can not tell a difference from the stock black painted.
