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 Ай бұрын

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

@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?

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

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.

It seems the bed is too far away and the treads are too short. Have you changed the position of your limit switch for the gantry? Maybe the axis is too high?
