@ysb, thanks! If I would to use a glass plate underneath the heated bed, the screws will be uneven as the top of the three screws holding the build platform looks a bit like a cone shape and then it will protrude out.

In addition, you may need a larger power supply.

if i remember, the "non heated bed" version of the S2 is an acrylic plate. you need to change this plate as you can't put a heat source under this...

you can use alumunium plate or glass plate...

Hi all, I recently received my Solidoodle 2 Base model and started printing with a lot of warping. Because of my budget, I could not afford the model with the heated bed. I just came across some cheaper heated bed on eBay. Is it alright to use them? If so, what can I put under the heated bed as I think it is quite thin. Thanks - Harold
