I loved this glass bed. After so much time trying to get anything to stick to the stock ender 3 bed, this glass bed has things sticking almost TOO well.
It was fine enough for PLA, but I’ve been playing with PETG lately and it sticks a little harder.
Well today I printed the entire bed flat for a little hiking table I’m experimenting with… and this happened when I tried to get it off…
Suggestions for replacement? Should I go glass again? I don’t have bltouch so I like how flat glass is, set it and forget it. But I’ve seen those magnetic plates that allow for super easy removal but just flexing the plate, but this bed is aluminum I think. Plus that seems similar to the stock ender 3 plate that I despise.
Yeah petg you have to add a sacrificial layer of generally hairspray or glue stick to make sure the petg doesn’t bond with the glass
I have several chips in my glass bed from petg
I usually now spray 3-5 layers of hairspray on my glass before printing petg
That’s my fault for jumping in without researching lol.
Now I see why PETG isn’t as popular.
I needed something with more heat resistance than ABS but I didn’t want to go through the work of making an enclosure
PETG becomes as easy to print as PLA after 3 or 4 spools to be honest.
PETG is typically less heat resistant than ABS
I meant PLA sorry
