Aluminum Build Plate - Creator Pro

[jsmith]

Does anyone know the approximate weight of the aluminum build plate on the Creator Pro? I'm doing a force analysis of the system for a class and it seems like Flashforge is pretty bad about user manuals and spec sheets.

It's a pretty trivial calculation given that you can measure the dimensions and the density is available in lots of places on the net.



150x230x3 mm = 15x23x.3 cm


1cm^3 = 2.7 grams


15 x 23 x .3 = 103.5 cm^3


103.5 x 2.7 = 279.45 grams

But it is early.
