SoliForum - 3D Printing Community → XYZ Printing DaVinci → Davinci 1.0 Bed Glass Warp- Replace ?
Was getting odd drag marks on bed side(bottom) of prints and top.
Placed a straight edge across the bed and was astonished to see how much a warp was in the middle .
I started to remove the glass but realized the heater is glued ? to the glass.
How do you replace the glass ? or have you shimmed it underneath ?
This is a realization I just came to last week as well. I noticed it while trying to manually calibrate using repetier, I could get both sides and the front perfect, but the middle was always way to close. I did a replacement with Amazon which just came yesterday. That printer had a whole set if of other issues (they must not have a qa department) so I decided to just swap the glass beds seeing my current printer is working just fine. The new bed is still warped in the middle but not nearly as much as the first one. I wonder if this gets worse over time. At any rate, I'll be curious to see if others have any options for swapping/fixing this.
Would this work as a heat pad:

And then this for glass:

I know the glass is a bit too small on one side, but in theory would this work to replace the glass/glue/heatbed comb that comes with it? I would put the glass on top of the heat bed without gluing it...assuming this would be ok. Which of the 3 pads would I have to solder too to make it compatible for the Da Vinci?
I just replaced the aluminum bed on my Replicator 2X (200 hrs print time and under warrenty) with a stock one.
aluminum will warp! so when this one warps I will get a Borosilicate glass plate from McMaster Carr.

Here is a topic where a fellow soliforum user has offered to sell some heat bed replacements:

I may have the reverse issue, only it seems to happen in the front, where the front middle is lower than the rest of the bed no matter how much I calibrate it (manually with paper). i could get the rest of the bed level but the front center always comes out lower and if i adjust the front knob the front sides end up too close to the print. Im not sure if my bed is warped or if im just not calibrating correctly. any input?
When my glass cracked, I put an aluminium plate on top of the glass secured with 2 bulldog clips.
I later fitted a sheet of Buildtak to the aluminium plate which works great.
Just means adjusting the z endstop slightly.
