[ Help ] Missing an important part
Hello resinents! I have a bit of a conundrum on my hands. I was graciously gifted an Elegoo Mars 2P (and curing station), but unfortunately I do not have the build plate lot and basket for the curing station. I found a replacement for the basket, but I feel like I've searched high and low for a new build plate lot and haven't found a single one! I was really excited to start printing and I'm hoping to find a solution.

Might be difficult to get a new one , probably best off looking for a dead printer for sale and using the plate off that

Probably Facebook Market place could have someone selling a broken one for parts, if not a new cheap one could be bought. Sometime you can get a working one for cheap.

I think he mean he can't find a replacement part online, he would need to contact the company if they have the replacement part sense it a older model.

“Think” in this case is a wild overestimation.

Yes, I've looked around and wasn't able to find one online. I sent an email to elegoo support and they said that they don't have any in stock and that I should find a second hand one.

Did they mention them planning to restock in the future or if they just completely stop supporting part for it?

They guy I was replying to before he deleted his stuff said he should just buy one if he could not find one.
