Comment on What are some dumb mistakes you have made with 3D printing?

Yes, it’s way worse. I made this mistake on a couple different glass beds of differing thicknesses, and each time, the print was so fused to the bed that it was impossible to remove without breaking the glass. One or two times, I completely shattered the glass. Another time, I went super slow and tried to get some warm IPA to wick under it, which sometimes helps prints release, and when I eventually got the print off, it still took a large chip of glass with it. It’s not even “adhesion”, it’s like the carbon fibre diffuses into the glass and creates some kind of next-level bond, almost epoxy-like lol.
