Glass Build Plate use on a P1S

[Thud-oops]

Short previous discussion, seems like I remember others.

Glass bed setup

Hi I am going to print some nylon (PA6), and want to try a glass bed for this, as I read it is a good option for Nylon, using glue stick. Normal window glass that I cut myself. Can I just replace the PEI sheet in my H2D with a glass plate, re-level, and start printing? Or do I need to do something special to make it work? I will of course fix the glass plate to the heatbed and compensate for temperature.

Can’t offer any personal experience.

Edit, here down in the discussion @Olias talks about using kapton tape

Is there a glass-smooth, shiny, build plate for the X1C (or P1S)?

It’s possible. I’ve used float-glass build plates with my old Prusa Mendel clone, and am competent at glass cutting. The nozzle wiping area would be tricky to manage. I used to do stained glass work, so might be able to cut glass in a way to provide a wiping area. Not at all sure how well that will work. It would be interesting as an experiment though.
