I loved this glass bed. After so much time trying to get anything to stick to the stock ender 3 bed, this glass bed has things sticking almost TOO well.

It was fine enough for PLA, but I’ve been playing with PETG lately and it sticks a little harder.

Well today I printed the entire bed flat for a little hiking table I’m experimenting with… and this happened when I tried to get it off…

Suggestions for replacement? Should I go glass again? I don’t have bltouch so I like how flat glass is, set it and forget it. But I’ve seen those magnetic plates that allow for super easy removal but just flexing the plate, but this bed is aluminum I think. Plus that seems similar to the stock ender 3 plate that I despise.

    I put the whole apparatus in the fridge for a few hours, hoping it would just pop off.

    The edges came up clean, but the very middle was very unhappy. I had some lifting on the corners so I think there was a draft and the plate wasn’t warming equally. Hot spot in the middle trying to keep up maybe? IDK.
