I damaged the surface plate on my Ender-3 S1, it has a small hole in the middle of it, like 2-3 mm diameter, can i still use it if i print around it?
And the second question is, I found replacements that are not the original surface plate from ender, without the 2 pockets at the top for the screws, just a simple square, cand i unscrew the screws and use that? Or do you recommend me to buy the original one?
Do you have a picture you can show?
Right now I can’t, I’ll get back to you with a photo tomorrow. Thank you!
That’s the build plate which you can swap out with others.
Here’s a link to a creality one: https://www.amazon.com/Creality-Official-Pro-Build-Plate/dp/B0CRYZHX5S?th=1
If you find a plate without notches then just cut your own out using tin snips or any other appropriate tools. I’m not sure if you can remove the screws. I guess you can but I haven’t tried.
