Comment on Destroyed my Glass Print Bed - What to do now
Klajan@lemmy.zip 1 week agoWell I don’t have any way to mount the PEI bed? This is a glas bed with the heater glued to it, and the mounting screws are integrated into the heater. So I would need to find a way to either seperate the glass from the heating PCB or somhow mount the new bed on top of the exisiting one.
Unless there are cheaper compatbile option I did not find. It is quite hard to find something for this specific printer

That’s what they are saying. Buy a PEI plate with a magnetic backing, remove the rest of the abs from your glass build plate and stick the magnetic pad on it. Then the pei goes on top.
I did this as an upgrade to my own printer.

That sounds like an option. It looks like the aliminum heater is quite thin, I estimate 1-1.5mm, so unlikely to be a good suface to mount a flexible sheet to?

You just stick the magnetic backing to the existing glass plate for flatness and rigidity. You might have to bump the heated temp 1 or 2 degrees to compensate for the additional thickness, and you may lose a couple of mm/s of print speed at the high end due to the additional weight. That said, it is a very cheap and easy to execute option.
