    Help!
    I recently printed using ABS and tried the WolfBite on my glass build plate. When the print was finished I noticed a portion of my build plate was broken.
    Robo store has been out of stock in these since I bought the printer.
    Is there any other build glass plate that I can use so I can get back up and printing sometime this year?

    Is it still under warranty?

    No the warranty would have been up about 2-3 weeks ago.

    Gage you can email them and still ask,but beds typically arnt covered under warranty. You can get a piece of glass or mirror and clip to the top of the bed

    I saw something in another thread about 1/8 window glass that someone had cut at lows for rather cheap, is this the one you're referring to?

    Well I will have to give him a thank you then as well.
    I was looking at a Kapton bed heater that Mike Kelly mentioned, might look into just making my own replacement bed.
