== Glass Print Plate Usage ==
Glass plate is of GO-3D brand, proper one made for the this printer. It is covered with a PEI sheet that is adhered to the plate with 3M 468MP High Temp Tape. A blue silicone heat transfer sheet keeps the glass in place with friction and fills gaps between the plate and the aluminum bed, it is a type of silicone used for heat sinks for electronics.
 
* NEVER CLAMP glass plate to bed. It will cause warping of the glass plate. Yes glass warps and bends, look it up. The silicone will keep it in place no problem.
*One corner of the print plate is marked 'Front Right' and is blacked in on it's height. When facing the printer, this corner goes to corner that is on the right-hand side and is closest to you.
*The temperature of the surface of the glass plate will be lower than the aluminum bed, may have to use higher bed temp than on other printers
* PEI sheet is prep-free surface for ABS and PLA, hot or cold. If you have another material, check first to make sure it will work on PEI. If not, then put tape on top of the sheet and then glue/hairspray/whatever.
* Clean PEI sheet with 85% Isopropyl Alcohol and a paper towel, a green spray bottle should be near the printer. Can also use soap and water.
* The flat spatula used to remove objects from the print plate is also useful for removing glass plate from silicone sheet.
