    Changing the blue bed surface on Creator Pro

    The blue surface cover that Flashforge provides (what is its rightful name?) - mine wore out and I'm replacing it. Is this best done hot or cold, for best long term adhesion to the metal bed?

    I did mine cold, and it was a PAIN. I went through almost a whole jar of acetone trying to get all the adhesive off.

    Try hot.

    Once you have it off, consider switching to a removable plate of some sort (like glass).

    I recommend upgrading to glass.

    You can get a 6x9 inch piece from McmasterCarr for less than $25 shipped.

    You can get a 6x9 piece cut from scrap from your local small hardware store for about a buck...
