Glass Bed

I have been having so many issues with the traditional ender bed plate. Naturally, I took the multiple suggestions I received to swap to glass and I have not regretted it for one second. The installation process was a breeze, I simply raised the z stop and releveled my bed and it worked easy. The plate fits perfectly to my ender 3, leaving little issues with my prints. Overall I highly recommend this plate upgrade to any 3d printing enthusiast.

One of the best print beds I have ever used.The stock print bed for the Ender 3 always had issues with prints sticking to the base, but with this bed, I haven't had any issues with adhesion whatsoever. In-between prints, when the bed is room temperature, I always wipe it down with alcohol to get rid of any fingerprints/dust, and it is good to go. You may need to adjust your z-axis limit switch up because the plate is over double the thickness of the stock one.

Awesome, I still use this just about every print and it still performs as it did the first time.

This base is great. The one that came with printer was due for upgrade and this one exceeded expectations

A glass bed is worth it for sure, but you need to know the following.This bed is not magnetic, so how do you hold it in place? Use bed clips, you want thumb screw clips. put the thumb screw part on the under side. You can lay the glass bed on the bottom half of the prior magnetic bed. Ofcourse you want to remove the top half, the actual bed first. Now where to put those bed clips? when you level your bed that little pressure sensor hangs around and will bump your clips at certain points. Trial and error works well here. Before your bed and bed clips (separate order) arrive go ahead and level your bed once to watch exactly what areas will be out of the way. Once you get the new bed go ahead and install it with the clips, level your bed and make sure there is no hitting of the sensor or nozzle and bed clips. The clips dont have to be super tight just good and firm. If you try using tape instead of clips you will leave residue on the bed and underside, I strongly suggest avoiding tape.Clean the bed with isopropyl alcohol, I use microfiber towels which come in packs, youll want a pack. I tried using finger nail polish remover to clean the bed and that joker made the bed lose its magic, prints are skating all around now. Removing the bed is now more work as you have the clips to undo and redo so be prepared to let the bed cool before removing prints. I use a razor to pry under the print once its cooled some and that helps pop it up.Your z axis has a switch somewhere that it physically touches. Watch a video on how to adjust this z axis switch now that your bed is much taller than before.I have not needed to use glue or cement so far, and I am replacing my bed that I used nail polish remover on. But I do have an enclosure which keeps air temps warmer (36c ish) your larger prints may have corners lifting due to cooling and reheating. A glass bed with an enclosure is a good combo. Bed cement is not compatible with all bed types fyi. The glass bed holds strong at hot temps and lets go very easy after cooling.Glass expands and contracts with temperature change and can bend and sag a little over time so do some more solid research on glass beds. I hope this helps you!

The product has a protective plastic cover on the top glass. It had a finger shaped bubble. I removed the plastic cover & the marks are still there. I cleaned it with first a soap solution & finally ISO alcohol but still there. Sent a message to the seller & posted this information on the Amazon platform.Update! Seller did contact me as soon as they became aware of the issue. I think the Amazon platform is much to blame for causing a delay with the response time from the seller to become aware of the problem.The seller agrees that the product I received does not meet the expectations of both them & mfg. quality control. They have already shipped a replacement and await its delivery this week. This is the kind of company you want to do business with and I will in the future.

I bought one of these after my stock bed had some issues with prints not sticking. But since I started using this, as long as the bed is level, the prints always stick. I don't need to use glue or print a raft or anything else. I've even done some prints that were about 5 inches high and only 6mm wide at the bottom and they printed just fine.The one thing to take note of is that since this is glass, it can't bend, so you will need to use other methods of removing prints. I use a scraper or a tiny screw driver.In any case, this was a great purchase.

This well done and works as advertised. I have not liked using it because it is difficult to remove items once they are printed. it is also difficult for me to attach to attach the plate using clips. The clips always seem to be in the way and I am concerted they may be hit by the print head. I normally use the magnetic flexible plate which works great. If you definitely want a glass plate this is the one to get.
