Comment on Destroyed my Glass Print Bed - What to do now
Klajan@lemmy.zip 1 week agoThat was my idea, as well, but the Glass is glued to the heater, though I have seen a video that shows its possible to remove the glass.
But then the thin aluminum heater seems so flexible, I am not sure if a flexible PEI sheet on top of that would work well…

Mine was also glued to the heat bed when I broke it… I ended up replacing both the glass plate and the heater because trying to separate them wasn’t worth the effort. A PEI sheet should work okay on the thin aluminum as long as the bed is trammed reasonably well and you can use mesh bed leveling. Otherwise, yeah, stick with glass and be sure to use a release layer.

Luckily I already have a ABL setup, since I had to re-level the bed every 2 or 3 prints…
