Your dehydrator is perfect it is what I use. The bags I use don't last but a few uses and I get them at the dollar store when they have them in stock. They last longer if you put the spool in the plastic bag it came in and that in the vacuum bag. I did fine smaller ones on ebay that fit better but were a few cents more..
The 910 comes in 2 flavors.. the original and high temp.. The original is 250-255 https://taulman3d.com/alloy-910-spec.html
The Garolite I have I bought from a machinist on the MakerGear forum for $50. He made several for himself and was selling them. He milled it smooth (not as flat as the glass plate but close). It still needs glue stick for nylon to stick and you can not go over 80C on the bed or it will warp, which means I can't print ABS on it and I hate changing beds and redoing Z offset. So you may want to just try some polymide tape on your glass plate and put a little glue stick on it.. Lot cheaper and works well. None of the nylon I have printed needed to be printed over 260C. BTW Garolite is Fiberglass https://www.google.com/search?q=what...hrome&ie=UTF-8
Garolite is the brand of G10 so search "G10 sheet"
