By those black binder clips. It broke while cooling. Thin 1/8" glass. I think my heatbed is a little uneven flexing the glass when clipped down Going to pick up some 1/4" today.

This is why I keep telling people - Borosillicate (aka Pyrex) is what you are supposed to use! smile Normal glass will do this again and again due to thermal stress - its not designed for heat cycles no matter how cheap it is or which walmart it comes from wink smile

Just order a piece from the hundreds of 3d'ers on ebay that sell them for $10 and you'll never buy another piece of glass again wink

Nice print though! smile

Re: Elf test

Wow, I've been using 1/16" or 2mm thick glass for months, hundreds of prints, no problems!! It must be the warped printbed...

Then again I only use PLA, and heat my bed to 65°.... I guess thats Y mine held up!!
