Comment on maybe maybe maybe (larger ASA print in progress)
Damage@feddit.it 5 days agoI’ve been printing long enough to remember binder clips. IIRC they were originally a reaction to the magnetic sheets originally used getting significantly weaker as temps go up.
No, magsheets didn’t exist back then, we used mostly glass beds coated with hairspray, kapton tape or whatever we thought would work at the time… the clips were to hold the glass to the heatbed (usually a pcb heater).

Ah, that’s true. I guess they carried over into the early spring steel era.
Related: clips are a much better option than using double sided tape to attach glass to your bed. I just pulled my wanhao i3 clone out of retirement for my kids to mess with and getting the beat up ultrabase bed off was lots of fun…
