I’m actually not afraid of printing things larger than a few square inches on the bed… Waited way too long for this. Tightening up the eccentric screws on the bed carriage so it doesn’t wobble also helps.

    That’s what I was using before, but my problem is my bed is fairly significantly warped… Inflexible glass fixes this entirely and I’ve had absolutely no issues with adhesion. At least not with PLA or TPU.

    Although thinking about it I could clip the PEI to the glass giving it a flat bed…

      I’ve been using a 1/4" thick sheet of carbon fiber for years now. Once warmed up to temp prints stick hard on it. As soon as it’s cool a breeze can push a print of the bed. Plus it won’t shatter like glass does eventually, boy was that a surprise. You still have to wipe clean with some rubbing alcohol before printing.

      I bought the carborundum glass bed for my S1 Pro, it’s replaced my PEI bed entirely and see no reason to go back.
