Stick-on FlexPlate

This is an extension of my wallplatemate system. See wallplatemate.com for more product information.

I have created a stick-on version of the WallMatePlate FlexPlate (p/n FP1) which is an alternative to the original screw-on version (p/n FP0). This new stick-on version is designed to use 19mm (0.75″) wide double-sided adhesive to attach the FlexPlate to the wall thereby avoiding the use of screws and marking up the wall.

I recommend using 3M Command Strips or something equally as good. I am sure everyone knows by now, but just in case you do not, the 3M Command Strips allow you to easily remove the double-sided adhesive from the wall whenever you choose. And, they seem to provide exceptional adhesion strength in all the circumstances I have used them for in the past. But make sure you clean the wall before applying the adhesive.

Printing

To improve the adhesion of the double-side adhesive tape to the top of the print I strongly recommend turning on ironing.

I have tried to make my main print settings visible on the Cura screenshot but in case they are difficult to read I have summarized them again here…

My Setup:
Nozzle = 0.4mm

My Settings:
Layer height = 0.2mm
Line width = 0.4mm
Wall count = 4 (1.6mm)
Infill = 40%
Ironing = ON

Support:

Print Orientation: As shown in the screenshot(s).

Assembly Notes

No assembly or post-print processing is required.

Where to Get My STL Files

Thangs.com

I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.

Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback

My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.

I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.

I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.
