Haven't really used the glue (do have the purple stuff) but was commenting on the x-one printer using the supplied blue pad on the heated build plate so taking it out and to dunk is not really feasible!! It would drown the heater element on the bed! I'll have to try the glue on a larger print on that one and see how it comes apart.
I have a glass plate for that one but am not sure how to attach it! There is one bolt in the middle and then the three adjusters - no other corner bolts to use for glass clips.

I was looking at the upgraded carriage parts on Thingiverse for printing NigaFlex.
PeTG is something I am looking forward too. The translucent qualities will be interesting for some stuff as well as strength.
What glass plate do you recommend?
I have done some large prints on the blue sticker using purple glue. I just was an hour or so and the form pops right off. I guess I have been lucky. LOL
I am wanting to just use those though. if there is something easier that I don't have to replace tape and crap that would be great.
S3D I will be getting.
Thanks

Meh..I ditched the fancy plate holders within first week of having the printer. Got a pack of pinch clamps at Wal-Mart for $3 and they work like a champ. Have used nothing else since. They are ALOT easier to get off then even the simplest of the printed plate holders/clamps.

Anything Borosilicate. There an industrial supply company called MC Master Car thst sells plates the right size. You may also want to try contacting any local glass shops (esp those dealing with high-end bath enclosures) to see if they have any Boro.

1 8476K74 Heat-Resistant Borosilicate Glass, Rectangle, 1/4" Thick, 9" Width X 6" length 18.73
Each
Some folks use 1/8", some 1/4". I've got the 1/4" thick boro and it is a LOT of thermal mass to heat. At 6x9, the stock McMaster Carr product is slightly smaller than the full size of the build plate. Glass has another property that I did not see mentioned: It is flat. Wonderfully, thoroughly, flat.

I bought these and they fit perfectly. Three is really more than you need, but two are nice to have. I believe 1/8 is better than 1/4 inch thickness, less mas to heat and cool and less build height lost.

I built some aluminum brackets which bolt to the bottom of the build plate and hold the glass in place with a nice snug friction fit. It snaps in and is still easily removable to speed up the cool-down and removal.
