I will have a replacement bed coming from them, maybe I can request that they not adhere the heating element to the glass.  I could then use aluminum, or whatever glass I want...

"I ran out of heaters and when I went to order more, the Chinese New Year had everything shut down.
Received my order of heaters yesterday and busy assembling them today. They'll be ready to ship out tomorrow."

I bought a replacement from davincizone on ebay. "XYZPrinting DaVinci 3D Printer Borosilicate glass and heater"
He initially sold them from Voltivo.
Very nice boro glass. A world of difference for sticking and removing.
Heating element adhered to glass w/ the correct connectors.

Upadte: ckd his store and I see nothing. They were $60 w/ shipping.

It looks like they offer a 3 month warranty on the bed, so I'll submit a ticket today.

Several videos on YouTube have mentioned this, & a few posts here.

Removed a print from the bed yesterday and crack, nice patch out of the glass in the middle.

Amazingly cheap glass!

I bought the printer about 40 days ago, so I'll see what XYZ will offer me. 

I'd rather not send this one in and wait...
