4mm thick glass, ideal for use as a base or table for a 3D printer with 300mm and without corners as show as the following photo:
Standard smooth glass, 4mm thick, ideal as a printing surface for 3D
printers and 3D pens.
When printing with glass, the finish of the first
layer will be smooth and shiny on the printed surface in contact with
the glass.
Dimensions: 300X300X4mm
Attachment: The glass can be secured to the printer’s heated bed using
clips or adhesive.
Base Leveling: Some printers may require additional calibration when using glass, for example adjusting the Endstop.
To get the most out of your glass, here are some best practices: - Base
Leveling: Ensure the base is properly leveled before each print.
Correct leveling is crucial for good adhesion and print quality.
- Surface Cleaning: Regularly clean the glass with isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water to remove residues or oils that could affect adhesion.
- Temperature Settings: Use the recommended temperature for the type of filament. For example:
- PLA: 50-70 ℃
- ABS: 90-100 ℃
- TPU: 50-70 ℃
- NYLON: 90-100 ℃
- PETG: 50-70 ℃
- Additional Adhesives: Using additional adhesives, such as glue sticks or sprays, generally improves adhesion.
- Complete
Cooling: Allow the base to cool completely before removing the pieces.
The glass surface contracts slightly when cooling, making it easier to
detach prints without damaging them.
- Handle with Care: Avoid
using sharp tools to remove pieces, as they may scratch the surface. Use
a plastic or rounded spatula if necessary.
- Check for Wear: Over time, the glass may chip, and it might be time to replace it.
