Topic: Heated bed got scewed!

My bed gradually got more and more scewed, it's like a little hill in the middle (of course you don't see it, but when printing over the bed it's noticable, maybe .2mm difference. I tried adjusting it using the three screws but of course that doesn't solve the deformation. Anyone else have this problem? Is there any clever way of fixing it or do I simply have to buy another bed?

Re: Heated bed got scewed!

Put a piece of glass on it and don't clip it down.  Just spray the bottom of the glass with some hairspray and it should stick.  If you clip it down it will warp with the bed.  Just leave the Kapton on the bed and stick the glass down.  You don't need Kapton on the top of the glass just spray that with Aqua net also.
