im having a little issue where the bed is screwed down to be leveled and and attached. because they are inset it leaves indents in flat prints for example an iphone case. Has anyone had a solutions to fixing this issue?
i would imagine rotating the part to avoid the screws is the best bet.
I would try the tile or glass as discussed somewhere on this forum. That way the screws won't be there at all.
I am going to try to fit my solidoodle with a removable build surface as well, will be so much easier to remove prints and change kapton etc etc.
.. like to do the same....but i will lose some precious mm of the 6" height maximum... argh... hard choice...
You only lose about 3mm. Are your prints that tall? The granite certainly costs more in height. I've been doing pretty well with just glass and hairspray. I'm a little concerned about the weight of the granite (about 1lb) and the fact that the bed is cantilevered. I don't want to warp anything from the prolonged weight.
i have the metal heated bed, i wonder if i could just clip on a another piece of metal and put the tape on that

i print that last night.... you can see the nozzle of the printer 3 or 4mm from the top of the head. it use the full height of the solidoodle space... i need that 3mm 
If there isn't a necessary height for this piece, why not just scale it to 99%. I understand the desire for the full height for mechanical pieces and other dimensionally critical pieces, but it is pretty much beyond the capability of the human eye to distinguish between 147 mm and 150 mm. By the way, I hope you changed your end g code so that it does not try to lower the bed at the end of the print and grind your z axis at the end.
You should post that in the STL forum with your settings. That turned out really well, with some tricky areas.

My word! Great print.
