Hi all,

Learning all about 3d printing and I've already screwed up. Had a failed print this morning that seemed to be fused to the bed. Tried to remove it by tugging on it, using a scraper, and then finally deciding that I needed more leverage, I got out a flathead screwdriver and attempted to pry the print up. That turned out to be a mistake. The flat head put some gouges into my heat plate. See picture here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9-...ew?usp=sharing

The question I have is this mostly cosmetic? Or will it affect prints in the future? I'm planning to put down a glass bed (I was previously using the blue 3m sheet that came with the flash forge). I am worried that these "dings" will cause cold spots in the glass bed causing issues. A new heated bed is $98 from flashforge and I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Any repair options for this?

Thanks!
