You need to use Isopropyl alcohol to clean between prints and slow your base layer down substantially ( I use 10mm/s on ender 3). I do not use adhesion (hairspray or glue) and I have no issues with PLA sticking to baseplate amazingly. 65C initial layer then 50C after. Good luck

I'm new to 3D printing. I bought the glass bed after watching many videos on YouTube. I've had trouble with things sticking, or the corners popping up while the prints still in progress.I'm still fiddling with the settings. Making the bed hotter seems to have helped. I'm also working outside and that's a factor too. I have to keep the bed hot the whole time, no turning it down or the project comes off and then I have a huge tangled mess of nothingness.I will stay with the glass bed as it's easy to remove projects and also easy to level.

Die PEI beschichtete Federstahlplatte ging mir irgendwie auf den Geist und ich wollte eine richtig schöne, glatte Oberfläche.Außerdem dachte ich, dass ich so nochmals einen ticken mehr Nivellierung herausholen kann. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: Nö.Mittlerweile habe ich zwei Platten, die ich nach dem Druck wechseln kann und bin super zufrieden damit. Allerdings erforderte der Umbau etwas mehr Feinjustierung, da die Glasplatte nicht soviel Fehler zu verzeihen scheint, wie die PEI Platte.Den magnetischen Aufkleber habe ich von der Platte gekratzt, da dieser bei höheren Temperaturen zu Verzug neigen soll?Befestigt wird die Glasplatte mit solchen Lichtleisten Clips, da mein Hotend modifiziert ist und der Lüftertunnel ansonsten in die mitgelieferten Clips rammelt.Egal ob PLA, PETG oder ASA: Die Haftung ist immer gut und die Stücke lassen sich nach dem Abkühlen problemlos abnehmen. Vorausgesetzt: Der Z-Offset ist korrekt eingestellt. Ein ticken zu hoch und das Modell löst sich beim Druck, wenn es überhaupt haftet. Einen ticken zu niedrig und der Kram klebt so fest am Bett, dass es sogar nach 20 Minuten im Eisfach noch immer schwer ist das Druckstück zu entfernen.Wobei PLA hier nicht so zickig ist, was einen größeren Z Offset angeht. Für PETG und ASA nutze ich daher vorsorglich 3DLac, damit sich auch während dem Druck garantiert nichts löst.Wichtig ist, dass die Platte immer nach dem Druck sauber gemacht wird. Ich nutze hierfür Isopropanol in 99% oder PrintaClean von AprintaPro.Würde ich definitiv wieder kaufen, allerdings ist eine Glasplatte nicht unbedingt etwas für Anfänger, die bisher kaum Erfahrungen mit den richtigen Kalibrieren haben.HeatBed PID sollte in jedem Fall gemacht werden und ich lasse die Platte etwa 5 -10 Minuten weiter aufheizen, nachdem diese Zieltemperatur erreicht hat, ehe ich den Druck starte. Ob das notwendig ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Ich habe allerdings ein besseres Gefühl dabei. Immerhin ist es eine dickere Glasplatte gegenüber einer dünnen Stahlplatte.

If you are hesitant to upgrade to the glass bed.... Please do yourself a favor and GET THIS NOW! This glass bed is the single most significant upgrade that I made to my Ender 3. Gone are the days I spent half an hour trying to get my print of the stock magnetic bed. My only regret it to not have ordered it earlier.I didn't have any adhesion issues since I made sure the surface is super clean using an alcohol spay and a lint free rag.Money well spent!

I have an Ender 5 Pro and have been having problems with the bed being uneven. I tried a PEI sheet but this didn't resolve them so decided to try a glass bed. After installing and adjusting the end stop I quickly achieved the best layer that I have had since it was new. Delighted with the print quality!But there is a hitch. No adhesion problems here. It has a vice-like grip and even when fully cooled down prints are quite an effort to prise off the bed. I did some test prints to be sure that the nozzle wasn't too close and made further tweaks to the end stop screw which helped but it is still an effort. I also have a delta printer which has a fixed glass bed and that completely releases prints once it is cool so I expected the same here but it is clearly not made to the same standard. It's still early days so hopefully will ease as I get used to it or maybe after I tweak the z-offset. I have started printing with a lower bed temp - 40, down from 50.Update - after 2 weeks of use the bed has settled down and is excellent. Prints still stick very well and release with a little assistance once fully cool. I print at between 45 and 50 for PLA. Delighted.

It works great with bed temp at 45-50°c and nozzle at 200°c. I tried to heat the bed at 40°c but it wasn't enough and it did not stick. At 55°c, it sticks too much and could cause the first layer to bleed.I always wash it with Windex before using it.Don't forget:- to properly remove the magnetic sticker on the bed before using the glass bed.- to change the gcode to move the leaky line closer to the center, otherwise it will collide with the clamp.

Take the glass bed out of the box. Take off the adhesive film protector. Clean with IPA. Re-adjust your z axis a lil bit when setting up the new bed and print at 60degrees bed temp. These steps are a recipe for success with this glass bed!

I got this bed for my ender3 pro and I have to say it's working very well so far. I use the hairspray trick for mine and haven't had a failed print yet. I raised the limit switch for the z-axis about 1.5mm and re-leveled the bed and that seemed to do the trick.One thing I have to mention is MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE MAGNETIC SURFACE before your first print on this bed. I forgot to do this after reading the reviews and the glass bed was stuck to the old magnetic surface. It took almost an hour to get it off but it worked out in the end.Overall a very good bed for the money, just don't forget to take the magnetic surface off.

This was to upgrade from the 'magnetic vinyl' bed to glass. This was really an upgrade. The surface is far more level than the magnetic bed. So far adhesion is great and smoother.

Ik heb de glasplaat gekocht als vervanging voor de originele build plate van mijn Ender 3.De glasplaat wordt goed verpakt geleverd, installatie is eenvoudig: Simpelweg plasticje eraf trekken en op je printer bevestigen. Je moet de Z-endstop een paar millimeter omhoog doen omdat het glas dikker is dan de originele buildplate.De glasplaat hecht zeer goed en is daardoor makkelijk in gebruik, ook is deze gegarandeerd recht.Bij een first-layer temperatuur van 60 tot 65 graden voor PLA plakt de print stevig, het enige probleem wat ik heb is dat de prints af en toe bijna niet meer loskomen. Ik weet nog niet wat daar de oplossing voor is.Voor PETG beveel ik aan om een spray of lijmstick te gebruiken om de glasplaat te beschermen; PETG plakt zo goed aan glas dat het de glasplaat kan beschadigen!

It came in the original Creality box, that is well protected, and also came with the required clips, that was nice as my original one are kind of small.It is a nice glass surface with some texture on it that makes adhesion without adding anything pretty good, I got results similar to what I get with a PEI bed. However for amazing bed adhesion I recommend adding 4 layers of Aquanet extra superior hold uncented hairspray, available at Walmart in Canada.If you use hairspray, to make the print pop from the bed, just put the bed in the freezer for 5min. This Glass bed will support this temperature change without an issue.
