Cyberfounder Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Hi all, I just bought one of the new baseplates 48x48, this in order to continue the layout of a (Castle)moc I'm working on. After adding the plate to the moc and starting to build on it, I noticed it keeps tilting and lifting up and down. Apparently there is a height difference with the old plates. The section of the moc has a wall overlapping 2 baseplates and it shows the weight on the rest of the plate is pulling on the wall and making it separate when moved around. I only bought one, so maybe it's an error. But could anyone check if they have the same problem? Edited March 28, 2023 by Cyberfounder Quote
Peppermint_M Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Have you got any photos? I have not bought any new plates to make a comparison. Quote

MAB Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 You can get a slightly twisting / lifting, especially in larger baseplates, if you have a brick dense region in one section and not much else in another. If you are attaching the baseplate to another with a wall, which will cause some localised stress compared to a free baseplate, are you also putting enough weight elsewhere on the other side to hold down the baseplate.

dr_spock Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 You can measure them with a caliper to verify the difference. Quote
