Setting up the Sainsmart ProverXL 4030 bed

 The bed of the 4030 is done with a sheet of MDF.  I have added a 1/4 in spoil board to the top so that any mistakes save the bed.  I followed the ideas from James Dean Designs and used his files to mill the spoil board flat. 


Here are the pictures and some instructions.




Completed setup


The first step was to mill out two spoil boards.  I forgot to take pictures of that step.  Look at the videos for his process.

The spoil board is attached with blue masking tape and CA glue:







I  used the door stops to hold things in place while the glue setup.




Using a surface bit and the g-code file from James Dean Designs faced the board nicely.  I then cleaned things up and put on two coats of Polycrylic sealer
