> 24 hourWhile i was using it, it was great, but ive since move to a PEI bed sheet for ease of use. I still have this glass bed and i will use it on another printer when it arrives :) Good stuff for PLA materials for sure!

> 24 hourIm serious. I put this glass on a printer I gave to my 11-year-old son, and no other surface sticks better or has a nicer finish. It has enough mass that I put some tiny adhesive dots underneath it and it stays put without being impossible to remove. And its so easy to use that he runs prints all the time without my help or supervision. I cannot recommend this bed highly enough! EDIT: Changed review down to three stars. I bought a second glass bed topper and NOTHING would stick. I washed it six ways from Sunday with Dawn soap, IPA, and the hottest water imaginable. Scrubbed it mightily. Might as well have been teflon.

> 24 hourI have been using this print bed for about 4 month and i love it! Makes leveling the bed so much easier vs the flexible print bed sheets that come with your printer, especially when using ABS temperatures. So far I have used PLA & ABS and they have both adhered properly to this bed, you just have to make sure your print settings are appropriate. It doesnt come with binder clips, but those can be purchased anywhere, just make sure to get the medium sized ones, not the small ones. You will also have to unbolt your Z axis stepper motor and adjust it for the width of the glass. This is glass so it can and will get scratched of the print nozzel hits it, but for me thats no big deal. After printing, once the bed cools down, the print pops right off. I have not used any kind glue or adhesive on it yet Overall a great print bed so far, just be sure to allow extra time for the bed to heat up, and let it cool off before trying to remove finished prints!

> 24 hourSo the glass is borosilicate, which is not tempered, but has a strength that resembles the Pyrex glassware you use in a kitchen. The coating is called Carborundum and was patented in 1893, in this use case it promotes adhesion. It is not soluble in acids or bases and so you can pretty much clean this in whatever without damaging the coating. The flatness was actually an improvement or my last glass bed as measured by a CL touch.

> 24 hourThis is probably the first upgrade I would recommend getting for your ender 3. Filiment Stick alot better than the stock magnetic bed. Quick shipping from the seller as well!

> 24 hourNothing to complain about for the tempered glass. Very smooth finish, and easy to clean. Just remember the basics of a tempered glass build plate; it takes 2x as long (or more) to heat up, you should wait for it to cool completely before removal (due to the porous nature of the material) and dont forget to adjust/recalibrate your Z-height after installing (it is quite a bit thicker than the removable magnetic build surface). Worked great on my Ender3 Pro.

> 24 hourJust buy it... they are night and day better than flex plates... coated to allow strong adhesion with heat and as it cools the print becomes easier to remove... don’t try to remove when you are at temperature... Most likely you won’t be able to… I am not paid by anybody I am brand new to the printing world and I will be buying this product over and over…appreciate the coating and the less hassle with leveling...

> 24 hourHad problems with adhesion but everything else seems great. May need to mess with heat. Thicker bed may mean I need to increase bed heat
