The other stuff tends to be closed source and limited in options. Under $1000 requires some machine operation knowledge, but it is very powerful software. </p><p>Sucks that your glass bed cracked, I&#039;m sorry to hear that. Kind of looks like propagation from the edge maybe? Maybe there was a micro crack/scratch there that was spread from the heat strain. The use of high temp glass is not really important for 3D printers, from room temp to the 90-110C used in printing is not a crazy temp fluctuation for standard glass.&nbsp; I had been using 2mm (quite thin) regular glass for well over a year before it cracked- and that was my doing. I also would throw the glass into the freezer fresh off the heat bed, to cool it faster.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>morethan1 - from the crack pattern, it looks like the object was lifted while still being strongly adhered to the glass.<br />What did you use on the glass? Glue stick or something else? Did you use a very thin layer?</p><p>Did you wait for the bed to cool completely?</p><p>When I got my previous printer, I&#039;d try pry off the object before cooling down, and some of them would just not let go.<br />But I quickly learned that patience pays off. Just wait a couple more minutes, and you should hear the satisfying pop as the object dislocates itself.</p><p>Also, you can try a mirror. I&#039;ve used mirrors from IKEA before, and they work fine. (Unless you&#039;re printer below mm layer height)</p>]]></content>
