The design is great, but the materials, plastic is very flimsy! and we don't know what the top material is, or where to buy some replacements!
Hi There,
Very sorry to hear your expectations weren't met on this.
As many have mentioned, the Grizzly 2x42' has a number of quirks, despite its popularity. Chief among them in our case was the lack of space and adjustability on the stock platen versus the two flywheels on either side. We've found that with proper installation and tension that the PLA used to print this product was more than strong enough, provided it stays properly in place.
As noted in the product listing on our page, the Swanson Pro-Style platen comes pre-installed with 1/8' high density foam and graphite tape, both available on Amazon.
If you have any additional issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Knives@districtcutlery.com, we're always happy to help.
Best,
DC
This platen is now my goto when freehanding sharpening knife blades.
