Comment on Destroyed my Glass Print Bed - What to do now
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I know nothing about 3d printing. What would happen if you took sandpaper to both sides after cleaning it up and put JB weld on it? If the surface is scratched for the weld to hold I don’t see why it wouldn’t?
Maybe someone else can tell us why it’s a bad idea.

It might work, but you generally want to have a flat surface and it needs to stand up to extended periods of temps up to 110°C and I’m pretty sure this is borosilicate glass
But I also can’t get the glass shards off the printed parts, so this is pretty much a moot point

“J-B Weld can withstand high temperatures up to 500 °F (260 °C) continuously and up to 600 °F (316 °C) for short periods. It is designed for bonding various materials and is resistant to shock, vibration, and temperature fluctuations.”
I’ve used it to put a chunk of engine block back on a motorcycle engine that got ripped off by a drive chain coming off and catching a bolt. Held it from leaks and drove it for a few years after that. I’m not familiar with the glass you use and such, probably best to research first.
