			<description><![CDATA[<p>In reverse order...</p><p>What do you use to model you objects? If you use a 3D program without good solid support you may want to use Netfabb cloud to fix up errors in the STL files before slicing.</p><p>as for the lifting problem... a glass plate (borosilicate) is a great easy mod and will help to some extent. There&#039;s another thread discussing the issue of warping/curling at the moment... <a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/4247/extreme-curling-issue/">http://www.soliforum.com/topic/4247/ext … ing-issue/</a></p><p>and there&#039;s plenty of info on glass plates vs ceramic etc. I like glass as with the standard heater it heats up pretty quickly and it&#039;s VERY flat.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Everyone! I&#039;m an architecture student and I&#039;ve printed a few prints with the Solidoodle 3 already. However, I&#039;m still a newbie to the 3D printing technology.<br />I have a few questions regarding on the glass plates and the Slic3r.</p><p>My heatbed is just like everyone else. Although the ABS plastic sticks to the bed, the corners of my prints would warp up gradually. I&#039;ve tried both hairspray and paper spray glue and it still doesn&#039;t work. Therefore, I&#039;m thinking getting either a tile or a glass plate.</p><p>Where do you guys buy the glass plate or tiles? and what kinds of thickness should I get? If I switch to the glass plate, is there still the same kind of warping situation? If I got the glass plate, How should I setup the Z-offset in order not to let the extruder crashes with the plate?</p><p>On the other hand, whenever I tried to slice objects with Slic3r, the slices would come up weird. Like there&#039;s some inconsistent floating pieces and/or the sliced geometry is not the same as the geometries before slicing.<br />I&#039;m wondering does this happen to everyone? is there a way to resolve the problem?</p><p>Thanks in advance for the help!:)</p>]]></description>
