  • I might be “lucky” in the sense that the glass appears to already separate at the corners.

    Does the magnetic plate warp much under high heat loads? Since I print a lot with PET(G) and sometimes ABS I thought this might be a problem.

    If I leave the glass on I might not get to the Maximum temperature, but I ordered some moderately priced magnetic kit already, so I’ll just clip this on top and Test first.








  • Yea, I can see that now, It is how it came from the factory.

    I could try to seperate the Glass from the aluminum heat bed, though I fear I might bend it in the process. It looks like the MK3 ALU-Heatbed Dual Power frm the reprap Wiki, except it’s 220x220mm.

    If I can get the glass off without damaging the Heatbed I could also attach a magnetic PEI Plate to that, not sure if that thin alu plate is a good backing in that case.



  • Well I don’t have any way to mount the PEI bed? This is a glas bed with the heater glued to it, and the mounting screws are integrated into the heater. So I would need to find a way to either seperate the glass from the heating PCB or somhow mount the new bed on top of the exisiting one.

    Unless there are cheaper compatbile option I did not find. It is quite hard to find something for this specific printer



  • I was using Quad9 for quite some time, but I had consistent problems with the DNS sometimes not working.

    In my local network I switched to pihole with unbound as the resolver. Though this does require a bit more setup. I have unbound setup to serve expired records from the cache & prefetch comment queries, this helps with most of the delay.

    On my phone I use dnsforge.de when I am not at home for example, and haven’t had any problems with unresponsive DNS so far.


  • Since I am behind CG NAT I try to use IPv6 for most things at home. It works pretty well most of the time. Also a lot of Software (or should I say games) that claim to not support ipv6 do, as long as you can give them a domain that only has AAAA entries…

    SLAAC is pretty cool if it works and if you can weed out all the devices with privacy extensions enabled by default, so you can properly apply rules…

    I have tried it and it works. It is not as good as a dedicated drier and not as energy efficient.

    The worst filament was some 5 y old pla that was so brittle it snapped when unrolling from the spool, that just couldn’t be fixed on the heated bed. I had to dry it at 50°C for 12h to be usable again.
