I have always used Glass but instead of clips I use double sided adhesive tape heat ressistant, and Aqua Net spray and works absolutely fine. Is not even Pyrex or anything like that, a glass 2 mms. thick from any glass cutter service will do, it won´t break as many people think. I have had the same glass year for 4 years. Don´t spill any cold liquid while hot and will last 4ever. Even ABS I have printed with it.
I use a glass mirror. Works really well. Only I put petg on at too high temp and it stuck too well. Small source removed at a tiny point. I may replace it some day. I like to remove it so use paper clamps (or whatever those triangular paper clamps are called.) a bit of a nuisance on large prints.
Guessing by the accent (and Rupees), I'm guessing Talkingsuff is in India? I put my glass bed printer away 9 years ago. At the time I had read about using Aluminum to improve ABS warping. I bought a sheet but never got around to cutting it. If I had taken the time, my priority would have been to build an enclosure; since I have a Delta-v printer, it would have been a headache to cut a circle so I never did it. Now that I'm restoring my printer to get it up and running again I figure it's time to get the best bed, hot head, enclosure etc. My understanding is that India is HOT. I can see how thermal properties of bed are not as important to you. but in California, despite the tourist propaganda about sun and palm trees it is not India. I struggled to get up to temp to use ABS. I'm currently sitting in a 95 degree garage, but average is more like 65 F and nights get down to 40 F. my garage has an annual range of 40 - 130F. 10 years later, should I still be considering aluminum bed, or have materials evolved to the point where I should just consider better modern filament? I don't find any of the reasons for glass here to be very compelling
Came here to feel good about myself after ordering a glass bed. I am sooooo disappointed in the magnetic bed I got with Ender 3 S1. As a starter I immediately made a huge scratch in it. I said fine so be it. I could still print with the filament I got with the printer.... Then I bought new filaments and nothing stuck. Tried settings tried leveling screws auto leveling,cleaning with isopropyl, reading all guides and nothing. Its so annoying. Glass is just so much better. Not only that the flexible plate was so bumpy I could never get it perfectly smooth as it was curved all over the place. This is unacceptable. Ceramic/glass rocks though!
I went to a glass fabrication shop near home and got a glass bed of the same size as ender 3's print bed. Lucky me, I also got the glass bed with desired texture for appropriate bed adhision(No need for any gliue). And that too, just for INR 50. Not sure if its soda-lime or boro-silicate glass, but have been using it for last two months, and it has been working absolutely fine. Printed models comes off easily as well.
Cool, at Rs 50 it was quite a saving. The Creality 3D glass bed is quite expensive, I did have a standard glass bed earlier which I replaced with the Creality because it was not the right size. That one cost Rs 800. Still where's Rs 50 and Rs 800.
@@TalkingstuffNet The glass bed which the store person made for me, must have come from a scrap glass piece. That's why he didn't charge me a whole lot more.
So we can use the regular window glass right ? I searched for a borosilicate in the local store but couldn't find it .. So planning to use a normal window glass (may be soda lime glass) which is very cheap. So are you sure it won't shatter if we heat the bed for a long time during printing ??
@@harikriz369 lime glass has worked for me flawlessly for bed temps upto 60C.......for quite a long time ~10 months(conditions apply: it has worked fine for me for print jobs lasting upto 24 hrs is fine). Make sure the uppper side of glass is frosted/rough for better adhision.

Man, I read that title and thought to myself "I don't think glass could support my weight" only to later find out that it was for 3d printers. lol.
😂, maybe I should add the words 3d printing or is good click bait 😬

First time it was that indian person is having a youtube channel on 3D printer. Thank you.
I hope I could get some cost saving ideas from your videos

Glass is just fantastic, you get a smooth finish on the bottom and once the bed cools the prints just seem to pop off.
Thanks for making this video, glad i came across it. Very informative and entertaining 😁

Lol I'm indian too, I did the same thing
Any window fab shop or photo framing place can cut us piece

800 to 1000 Rupees, dang I need to smash more pots in Zelda.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching 😁
My prints are all getting stuck, i'm printing abs on a 100°c bed
Did you try applying a layer of glue stick before starting to print.
Change your first layer temperature. Test still you get the desired adhesion
👍
fex beds only you will hurt someone recommending glass
AquaNet hair spray...
Glass beds are a Bad idea very dangerous
You are talking about 3D printing right 😅
