For anyone wondering what to use to get the glue off of the print bed after removing the magnetic bit, I turned the bed OFF and used acetone and a scraper. Turns it to slime and you can clean it off with a paper towel.

@BRP-Moto-Tips Месяц назад

I use a glue stick & alcohol, it works well too in case you don't have acetone at reach

@cypher7881 2 месяца назад

Great video still need a slight tweak to a corner or two but everything is working pretty good so far. Bought the same plate you have as well.

@KennethScharf 2 года назад

You don't need a special glass build plate. Common window glass about 3/16" thick will work just fine. If the glass is clean and heated to about 60C, PLA will stick to it like crazy. ABS and PETG might need a bit of glue stick. As the bed heats slowly, even common window glass won't crack from the heat, just don't let any water fall on the heated glass or it WILL CRACK! Same with cool down, let it cool to room temp slowly before removing the glass plate from the bed. I've found that I can remove hard stuck prints from the glass by putting the plate in the freezer for about 10 minutes. It cools slowly enough that it won't crack.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

Some good tips there thank you

@monicahart5457 Год назад

I will have to try the freezer trick.

@jimlips Год назад

Brilliant! I replaced my magnetic bed, and installed the Creality glass bed, but always had issues leveling it properly. I missed the "move the microswitch down" step. I just ordered a new glass bed, and will be sure and follow your instructions this time. Thank you! Really enjoyed your video.

Great video Tomasz, informative. I have the Ender 3 v2, upgrades I've done- BLTouch, dual z Axis lead screws, Raspberry Pi with Octoprprint. These mods significantly improve workflow. The rough surface on the glass bed is carborundum. Tip, for prints that are reluctant to stick I use a glue stick, cleans off with a damp cloth and then isopropyl alcohol. Good luck.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

I was thinking of that improvement as well I just need to get some funds for it 🤣👍 so far had no issues with prints not sticking

@idlersdream826 2 года назад

Good info Tomasz, that magnetic base looked like it was a bit tough to remove, I’m glad my ender actually came with a glass plate. I’ve found that changing the bed springs to the stronger ones available maintains the levelling better 👍.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

It wasn't too hard but I wouldn't say it was easy either 😅 Yes the springs, read about that, could be my next improvement👍

@EcoHamletsUK 2 года назад

I've fitted the yellow springs to my Ender 3v2, and they seem to keep the bed level for a lot longer.

@ianmathieson65 2 года назад

Would it not have been easier to leave the magnetic sheet in place and lightly spray it using silicone lubricant in an aerosol can to prevent the glass plate from sticking?

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

@@ianmathieson65 if it would work then maybe, but I don't intend to go back to the magnetic ones

@novadark1 9 месяцев назад

If you use an untextured glass bed don't have to remove the magnetic sheet at all because it's thicker then a normal bed meaning you can level it once and not have to worry about leveling it after like 3 months

@darkshock42mlg05 3 месяца назад

So I need to adjust the z stop. I got it to work first time on the stock springs but it only works with the stock springs in my case. I upgraded because I'm tired of leveling it all the hid damn time. I will have to do that this weekend once I'm missing the Allen wrench

@flyback_driver Год назад

I love the magnetic beds but I am so tired of punching holes in the because the offset changed slightly. Going to give glass a second try. Hey, I'm not sure how sensitive 3d printers are with milled surfaces since I mostly work with machine tools but you really should try using a plastic scrapper next time. That steel scrapper is leaving small gouges in the milled aluminum plate.

Get a raspberry Pi and klipper installed as well Tomasz. Much much faster prints with no loss in quality with input shaping and pressure advance and controllable from your phone, pc etc. Also I’m sure you’d like a homemade auto bed levelling device like the klackender probe. 😉

@MeganLindseySings 2 года назад

How did you remove remaining the glue residue from the plate?

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

Just used some rubbing alcohol. It came off nicely. But if the bed is heated up you can scrape it off with plastic scraper of some sort.

@singgiha Год назад

What is the differences between ender original glass vs ordinary (window) glass?? Is it more scratch resistant? Or may be won't break when fall on to the floor??

@CasualDIY Год назад

The Ender glass bed is not smooth on one side which helps with adhesion. I think if you throw it hard enough it will break.

@ultimatefriikki Год назад

Hi! Did you find any issues with the plate being heavier, mainly the Y-axis moving slower or having trouble stopping? I'm installing a glass bed today and was thinking if the heavier plate will need some movement speed corrections.

@CasualDIY Год назад

Had no issues at all

@RossPotts Год назад

@5:45, when you place the clips, doesn’t that subtract from the usable space of the 250x250 bed? Or did the designers already take that into consideration?

@CasualDIY Год назад

It does substtract from the table. However I have never had a project to fully use the whole bed, so... not an issue for me

@cisbauwens2992 Год назад

Do you absolutely need to scrape the magnetic film of because i would like to use the normal bed also

@CasualDIY Год назад

I think it will still work but it will take longer to heat up tho.

@jw200 Год назад

when i had my ender 3. it had glass bed with it. but the prints where not sticking to the glass bed. so i removed it. but what i did wrong? temperature of bed too low? or is the glass quality different or ii have to use some paper glue on the glass bed for adhesion? thanks. im buying new ender3 next week and I have tons of stuff to print for new project.

@CasualDIY Год назад

Some people suggest to use hair spray or just paper glue. So far not had that problem on mine even when I don't clean the bed regularly.

@user-gz3gn4ut4d 10 месяцев назад

This is really strange seeing glass is used instead of PEI. I am printing with PETG only and after using glass and having all the time troubles with it, I have switched to PEI magnetic one and that was the happiest upgrade. No glue anymore, cleaning the PEI bed once in 10-20 prints. No adhesion issues at all. Why going in reverse direction is mystery for me. Also why remove magnetic from platform - you can never switch back.

@CasualDIY 10 месяцев назад

Well everyone has different experiences by the looks of things.

@sawyermartini9701 2 месяца назад

@Casual DIY , I obtained the same bed which is 4mm thickness and I also have a CR touch automatic bed leveler for my Ender 3 (not the pro) that has a 4.2.7 board (I believe). are there any videos you recommend to help me to succeed at printing with this style of set up? I also noticed you are not using the included rubber separators that came with the glass bed. Why is that? I al using the rubber spacers but have noticed that it does not correctly level the bed. should I use those with the springs?

@CasualDIY 2 месяца назад

I don't have the automatic bed leveller so can't really say. I don't see the need for an extra rubber separators.
