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.

What the Reviewers are saying:
"Thank You Guys"
"It Just Pops Off"
"It Just Pops Off"
"I honestly stopped using my printer for a while because my prints stuck so well that I'd ruin them or break the glass trying to get them off.
The Wham Bam System has got me heavily into 3D printing again. Thank you guys!" - Rob R.

"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.

American and Turkish engineers assembled a metal-to-metal desktop 3D printer
News
creation of a budget 3D printer capable of printing all-metal products. Let's talk about what they did.
Direct 3D printing with metals (without intermediate steps such as growing polymer-metal blanks, and then etching and sintering) can be divided into two areas, referred to in Russian GOST as “synthesis on a substrate” (in the English terminology Powder Bed Fusion or PBF ) and "direct energy and material supply" (Directed Energy Deposition or DED). Synthesis on a substrate involves sintering or fusing metal-powder compositions in containers using laser emitters or electron beam guns. In the direct supply of energy and material, various energy sources can also be used, for example, the same lasers or electron beams, and the materials can be either powders deposited into the sintering or fusion zone or metal wire.
A project by scientists from California State University and Osman Ghazi University of Eskisehir is a variant of the second track called Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing or WAAM. Here, the material is wire, and the products are grown by arc welding, specifically in this case, with a non-consumable electrode in a protective inert atmosphere. WAAM is already being used in industry, for example in the repair and even additive manufacturing of ship parts: in 2017, the Dutch production center RAMLAB produced the first type-certified 3D printed ship propeller ( in the illustrations above and below ).
The resolution of WAAM 3D printers is, to put it mildly, small and requires a lot of post-processing, but they are easily scaled up and do not require fuss with relatively expensive, and often dangerous powders, and at the same time outperform traditional methods in terms of producing geometrically complex products with minimum waste. But you can scale both up and down, and the heroes of our story decided to create such a device not on the basis of an expensive industrial-grade multi-axis robotic arm, but by redesigning a budget desktop FDM 3D printer with the intention of keeping within one thousand dollars.
As a basis, the guys took an open-source "drygost" called Bukobot by the Californian company Deezmaker. The team assembled the device themselves by printing plastic parts on a Stratasys uPrint SE Plus 3D printer, and the power source for the head is an Everlast-branded welding machine. The movable electrode is mounted on one carriage with a mechanism that feeds a metal wire into the melt zone.
Inconel 718 Single Layer Metallography
Experiments were carried out with two types of consumables — AISI 1030 high-carbon steel wire and Inconel 718 heat-resistant nickel-chromium alloy with a diameter of 0.8 mm using tungsten electrodes with a diameter of 2.37 mm and blowing with an inert gas — argon. A series of experiments included experiments on 3D printing at different speeds with the appropriate adjustment of the material feed rate and current strength. For steel, these parameters varied within 2.5-3.5 mm/s with a feed rate of 14-18 mm/s at 45-55A, and with Inconel they tried to print at speeds of 4.
88-5.03 mm/s with a feed rate wire 7.69-10.49 mm/s at 40-50A.
Appearance and section of a 30 layer Inconel 718 specimen
Predictably, the team faced a host of challenges, including mechanical failures, errors in machine code, overheating and even burnout of electrical connections, and electronic and stepper motor failures caused by welder interference.
When working out the parameters, the results varied greatly: when working with the same steel, even at a current of 50A, 3D printing at high speeds produced a series of drops instead of solid lines, so the combination of a paving speed of 3 mm / s with material feed at a speed of 18 mm / s at a current of 55A ( option No. 8 in the illustration above ). With these settings, we managed to get a wall of twenty-five layers in the illustration below.
In general, the experiment was recognized as successful, as the very possibility of WAAM 3D printing with metals on budget, self-assembled equipment with a total cost of around one thousand dollars was proved without significant defects, such as interlayer oxidation or cracking.
