LITE Ver Makerbot Replicator 2 MACHINED BUILD PLATE UPGRADE 3D Printer glass alt

Description

Time to burn down the last of the inventory.  Was a great run!
We only have a few left and we have no plans to build anymore!
Thanks for all the awesome feedback!!
New Super light build plate!!!  It weighs just slightly more than the stock plastic plate and way less than the thick or thin glass plate.
Take you printer to the next level!!
This auction is for one CNC machined aluminum build plate upgrade to replace the stock plastic build plate.
Why would you print on printed adapters that induce inaccuracy?
We all know how warped the stock plate is and frustrating it can be to get a good print off of it.
I tried glass and it worked better but was hard to work with and lasted a week before I broke it trying to get a part off (no safety glasses so I was very lucky).
Also the machine had to be modified to accept the 3/8 glass.
That was a mistake too.
So here it is, a machined aluminum plate cut to exact tolerance and thickness!
No need to modify your machine as this snaps right in! It also weighs less than the heavy glass plates.
This build plate will improve the quality and consistency of your Makerbot by prints!
The top surface is custom cut to +/- .0004 of inch flatness and parallelism and then Hard Anodized to Mil Spec to make it super durable.
I won’t use the cheap consumer grade anodizing that just won’t hold up.
We all know that glass is flat, but it’s not +/- .0004 flat and why add unnecessary inaccuracy to your prints!
Don't kid yourself and think that glass comes in the same thickness as the original platform.  The glass is thicker and in this case thicker is not better!  Glass panels put a lot of strain on the mounting tabs.  Why take a chance on breaking them and have your printer down for days waiting for parts??
I like to tap my parts off with a back side of wooden hammer handle so no more worries on breaking the plate.
Throw it in the freezer for a few, no problem!

Want to use one of the latest release ideas like 3M blue painters tape,hair spray, Kapton tape, ABS “juice” this plate will support them all.
Makerbot recommends 3M blue painters tape and the 3"works great and you can use the same tape over and over again.
Look at the other “upgrade” build plates out there and they’re described with the words “almost, nearly the same, should not warp, requires mods, printed adapter, fits snugly (until the tabs break) or has glued on parts.
