About Wham Bam

Wham Bam 3D Printing Innovations

Wham Bam Systems is dedicated to improving the 3D printing experience through innovation. Our first product line, the Wham Bam Flexible Build System, addresses the need for printers to have a more reliable build surface which is easy to install and makes printing and removing a breeze. We have since released the Slap Mat for resin printing cleanup and the HotBox enclosure for 3D printers. 

 

Wham Bam was created when Peter Solomon, a long time inventor, award-winning designer, maker and 3D printing addict realized that many of his personal modifications to his printers would be very useful to all 3D printers.

Peter has been contributing to the community for years by posting his models to thingiverse,  his how-to videos on youtube, and his advice to many forums.  He became obsessed with resolving first layer adhesion as this is one of the issues that affects every 3d printer, and then needed to find a way to get prints off the bed easier. When he made his first prototype and shared on social media nearly everyone wanted one, and BOOM - Wham Bam was born!

Wham Bam will continue to make high quality, economic 3D printer products following the same mission: Making 3D printing Easy, Productive and Fun!

Flexible Build System

What Is The Wham Bam Flexible Build System?

Are you having a difficult time getting your 3D print to stick to your printer bed? Does your print peel up during a long print and destroy your work? Are you tired of temporary fixes such as glue sticks, hair spray, and painter’s tape? Once you get your print to stick, do you have to pry, chisel, cut the perimeter, or put your bed in the freezer, just to get your print off the surface without gouging the surface or cutting yourself?

  

We have created the specially formulated Wham Bam PEX Polymer Build Surface which surpasses PEI in temperature resistance, performance, and material ‘stickability”.  It sticks so well you would have a heck of a time getting the print off the bed without our Wham Bam Flexi Build Plate. Simply remove the Wham Bam Flexi Build Plate from the Wham Bam Flexi Magnetic Base on your 3D printer when the print is finished and flex slightly to pop your print right off! See our demo video below.

"It Just Pops Off"

"Class Of Its Own"

"Class Of Its Own"

 "The fact that the magnets are able to withstand higher temperatures puts this system in a class of its own. Capable of using a wide range of materials that other companies cannot claim without damaging their magnetic sheet permanently." -  James P

The fit to your machine is the buyer's responsibility

Please measure your bed (do not rely on build volume) before ordering noting that the spring steel Flexi Plate has two front tabs that stick out by 10mm on smaller kits and 15mm on larger kits. Wham Bam will not be responsible for mistaken sizes ordered. Click here for more sizing info

Quality Materials

Our Wham Bam Flexi Build Plates are made from high quality spring steel that won't kink or warp when you flex them, they just return back to shape! The Spring Steel has been formulated with a Chromium Alloy creating a rust proof steel for long life.

Our magnets and films have all been formulated to resist over 150°C so you can heat your bed to high temps for specialty filaments and not worry about loss of performance.

 We have developed the Wham Bam PEX Build Surface from a specially formulated polymer with a higher melt point than even PEI to attract most any filament without damaging the sheet. Prints easily pop off once cooled and flexed.

How can a printer help with self-defense?

Thoughts immediately come to mind to raise it above your head and swinging from side to side to rush at the offender. Well, seriously. Liberator stamp? Illegal. Print a costume? Somehow, too, not our methods. I like more technical methods of influence, yet a techie and love for technology is in my blood :)

Okay, let's skip the questions whether or not to carry something for self-defense and what is better. let's talk about one device and how I modified it a little. Or rather, not even his, but simply added one detail.

This detail will be the hero of this post. What's this? Double barrel detail? Almost. very similar, but no. I think few people have heard of such a device as a 'hunter's signal'.

Now I will tell you in more detail what it is.

This is a plastic tube with a striker and a spring inside. The notch is an imitation of a shutter. As you can easily guess, the striker from the cocked state, by releasing from the hook under the action of the spring, hits the primer, and then, depending on how this signal is charged, the launch occurs. nine0003

Initially, 'Hunter's Signal' was used, you won't believe it, by hunters and served to launch signal rockets. He has 3 colors of flares. But later its functionality was expanded and an empty cartridge with a primer (blank) and pepper BAM were added. Here I got acquainted with pepper BAMs on the example of the 'Premier' pistol, now I already have the 'Dobrynya', which replaced the Udar-2M line. But it's all poetry.

'Hunter's Signal' is available in single barrel and double barrel versions, although there is no barrel, only the body. BAM itself serves as the trunk. nine0003

In fact, BAM is a kind of pepper spray that can shoot loudly at 5 meters. Ideal for scaring off dogs, I tell you, if there are several of them. Particularly aggressive will be flooded with pepper mixture, and the rest will be scared away with a loud shot.

And everything would be fine, but the shutter itself confuses me. In the uncocked state, it is still suspended a little bit and somehow I don’t feel like trying to see if there is enough impact force to detonate the primer. And in the cocked state there is a chance, small, but still, that it will shoot in a pocket or in a bag. It would be embarrassing to get a pepper pocket in a crowded subway car. nine0003

In general, I almost immediately decided to make a fuse for it.

I modeled a blank in Fusion 360, measuring everything with a ruler. And I cut this part out of another unnecessary part.

This is the base, nothing complicated. We make half and mirror it.

We use the same principle with the main part in which we will cut out the unnecessary.

And now the model is ready.

Print it vertically with natural ABS.

A little rough, but it will do. We try on the prototype, and understand what needs to be reduced in places. I immediately reduced it with wire cutters right on the plastic and everything almost came together. At the same time, after walking around with such a design for a day, I realized that there were not enough protruding hooks for easy removal. nine0003

Well Fusion keeps a history of actions and editing elements is not difficult. We select a rectangle in the history and reduce it in height and a little in width. Click ok and get the correct part already assembled and merged. It remains to add a couple of hooks on the sides.

Now it's perfect. Well, how perfect. It would be possible to bring some more beauty, well, let it remain so. A purely utilitarian item.

And we put everything together.

Thank you all. I am ready to hear that a gas cartridge is more convenient and effective, that all this is a whim in self-defense, etc. :) nine0003
