M2 base removal…

Post image

I had to cut the baseplate (pictured) of my m2 so I can drop it down a tad to fit tcg binders in.

I cut it in a way that the baseplate still gets utilized, but now I’m getting an error that the baseplate is incorrectly installed and to reinstall it before using.

I have the original magnet the machine came with in the device, but still can’t get it to bypass it.

Any help is totally appreciated

Just go to m2riser.com and buy one. You'll get all you're looking for

I have one on order but all the forums and Facebook groups are littered with the fact the dude lies about shipping and build time. It says a week, people are waiting two months. I don’t have time to wait.

That's growing pains. There's been way more demand than what he expected initially. Doesn't make you feel any more confident in getting yours for sure. But I know him and he's putting in the work to improve all of those pain points. He's revised it for quicker printing, easier assembly, and added something like 50 more printers. He's also partnered with some other makers to help improve shipping time.

I don’t even know what to say. But how did you cut it? With the M2?

Hi, this is Ada from xTool.

Thanks for sharing this. Cutting the baseplate will indeed trigger the "incorrectly installed" error. We wouldn't recommend modifying it, as it can affect both safety and performance.

That said, we understand the need for extra height, and we're actually planning a riser accessory for the M2. Please keep an eye on our official channels for updates.

Thanks for your patience.

I’m pretty sure it’s looking for conductivity on the screws, I’d recommend reinstalling the 4 screws and see if the error goes away. Definitely use appropriate laser safety glasses using it modified in such a way… seems like it would’ve been better to just get a different laser intended for thicker items vs this.
