Pretty Good Best Supplies for 3D Printers

I'm having trouble keeping my prints on the glass bed. If you have a case the print may stick better as it can maintain a warm temperature. Tape and glue stick work really well, but the ad says you don't need them. I tried 3 days to test the glass bed. No prints brought it closer to the end. I gave up and used masking tape or glue stick. With masking tape, sometimes the tape won't stay on the hot bed, and sometimes the print will stick to the tape. When using glue sticks it is sometimes difficult to remove the print from the glass plate which will cause the print to break, so be careful. The biggest plus is that I don't have to worry about packing the bed. It is very important that with a glass platform you have to adjust the Z-stop up to avoid damaging the printer or the glass platform. If you don't do this, it will be more difficult to level the bed. The glass top makes the bed a bit higher, so the adjustment knobs are pushed out to the maximum before you get a stable adjustment. In general I like the glass bed. With logo, texture and easy cleaning. If you don't mind that, cutting glass or mirrors is cheaper at your local hardware store.
