I loved this glass bed. After so much time trying to get anything to stick to the stock ender 3 bed, this glass bed has things sticking almost TOO well.

It was fine enough for PLA, but I’ve been playing with PETG lately and it sticks a little harder.

Well today I printed the entire bed flat for a little hiking table I’m experimenting with… and this happened when I tried to get it off…

Suggestions for replacement? Should I go glass again? I don’t have bltouch so I like how flat glass is, set it and forget it. But I’ve seen those magnetic plates that allow for super easy removal but just flexing the plate, but this bed is aluminum I think. Plus that seems similar to the stock ender 3 plate that I despise.

    Sorry for the delayed reply. No, too warm won’t cause warping. However, the hold side of your hot end will at best be ambient temperature. If it gets too warm you can clog your nozzle.

    My view is “if the chamber doesn’t need to be hotter why make it hotter?”.

    If you were printing ASA/ABS you want your chamber to go basically as hot as you can get it though - especially if you’re printing something big.
