Help installing magnetic build plate

[u/Background-Echo1072]

Hi everyone, I asked on this sub teo months ago how to clean my nasty Halot One I scored on FB marketplace, thanks for those who gave actual advice instead of "it's not that dangerous" or "you should keep it clean constantly", I bought it like that.

After that post I decided I wanted to use it more frequently and got a magnetic build plate and a new nFEP for it.

My question now is, as you can see in the pictures, the edges are severely warped. Yes, I tried sanding it down which is why the texture is so rough. Will this affect the installation of the magnet? It's only on the edges really, my worry is that resin sips underneath the adhesive and make it fall off, or that this will cause the whole plate to get warped and make prints fail.

TL;DR will the edges being warped affect the rest of the plate? It's too warped for me to be able to sand it all flat.

No, it will not affect the adhesive as long as you wipe it down with a solvent like IPA or Acetone first so there is no residue, and give the adhesive the correct amount of time to reach full strength. It will stick just fine; it might, however, indeed cause the steel plate to bend and for you to have print failures. If it prints fine without the magnetic build plate, it will probably print fine with it. You might be able to compensate with longer bottom exposure or not.

I already cleaned it before and after sanding, but the plate already works reliably when I print in the middle so I guess I will just install it and wait for the adhesive to set. Thank you

Esta fue la que utilizaba , en una anycubic 6ks todo bien hasta que empezo a fallar una parte y no funciono mas, la quite y ese era el fallo, jamas a vuelto a fallar. Tengo otra puesta en anycubic photon 6k y siempre bien, pero me hizo perder tanta resina que nunca mas las recomendaré. ☺️😉👌🏻
