3D Printing - Securing and Printing on a Glass Plate - Part 2
In this video series I review a removable Borosilicate Glass build plate. Printing on glass will give you the smoothest surface, but requires some extra care and technique for it to work.
Part 1 covers unboxing and figuring out the best way to secure the glass to the print bed
Part 2 covers cleaning the glass, spraying it with hair spray to improve the adhesion, setting the bed temperature, a test print including removing prints from glass using a freezer, and a production print using a 0.2mm nozzle.
NOTE: Part 2 shows using some brackets in the back to hold down the glass plate that I later abandoned. The end of part 1 shows the best way to secure the glass to the print bed.
