There is also Shizuku that might be utilized in der Future to install apps (Im just speculating here)

I already have a laptop that has Arch running for a Year and I haven’t regretted that a bit.

Im just to lazy to make some space for Linux on my desktop that’s already dying and just waiting until I have replaced the Motherboard and CPU.

Especially since I will need to Dualboot for some programs and Windows really likes to kill my bootloader unless it has its own drive with its own EFI partition

Oh good, another reason to install Linux on my next reinstall

It might be a stupid reason, I always used a local account even when connecting a Microsoft account later, since I absolutely hate how Windows names the user folder for MS accounts…

Continuing on a squash merged branch is very annoying, and I had to deal with this in one repo regularly… Luckily I was annoyed enough to research about this and found out about rebase --onto "main merge commit" "branch merged commit".

Most VPN Providers block Port forwarding, so I’m guessing that would be the cause here.

I just removed the Glass plate, not really a big job in my case.

Almost all of the glue stayed on the Glass and the remaining glue was very easy to clean with Acetone.

Yes that was my idea, I already ordered a magnetic plate kit today and I can try this out first. Since the heater is an aluminum PCB directly glued to the glass I might just try to separate the glass from the PCB if the glass if sticking it on top doesn’t work out like I wanted

Luckily I already have a ABL setup, since I had to re-level the bed every 2 or 3 prints…

I might be “lucky” in the sense that the glass appears to already separate at the corners.

Does the magnetic plate warp much under high heat loads? Since I print a lot with PET(G) and sometimes ABS I thought this might be a problem.

If I leave the glass on I might not get to the Maximum temperature, but I ordered some moderately priced magnetic kit already, so I’ll just clip this on top and Test first.

Yes this is the first time this has happened, I printed roughly 2kg of abs on this printer already and I never had any problems with too much bed adhesion. But hey, this part didn’t warp a single mm ಠ_ಠ…

It might work, but you generally want to have a flat surface and it needs to stand up to extended periods of temps up to 110°C and I’m pretty sure this is borosilicate glass

But I also can’t get the glass shards off the printed parts, so this is pretty much a moot point

I’ve managed to get the rest of the sprint loose, sadly it was already damaged beneath.

Since it looks like the glass bee is already lifting by the corners from the heat bed I bet I can remove it pretty easily, but if the bare heater PCB (1.5mm thick) makes a good surface for a magnetic bed I don’t know…

That was my idea, as well, but the Glass is glued to the heater, though I have seen a video that shows its possible to remove the glass.

But then the thin aluminum heater seems so flexible, I am not sure if a flexible PEI sheet on top of that would work well…

To be fair the PEI kit I was looking at is a aluminium baseplate, silicone heater mat, magnetic base & the PEI sheet, so basically a complete replacement of the bed.

since the glass is glued to the heater I was looking at a complete replacement at first.

That sounds like an option. It looks like the aliminum heater is quite thin, I estimate 1-1.5mm, so unlikely to be a good suface to mount a flexible sheet to?

Yea, I can see that now, It is how it came from the factory.

I could try to seperate the Glass from the aluminum heat bed, though I fear I might bend it in the process. It looks like the MK3 ALU-Heatbed Dual Power frm the reprap Wiki, except it’s 220x220mm.

If I can get the glass off without damaging the Heatbed I could also attach a magnetic PEI Plate to that, not sure if that thin alu plate is a good backing in that case.

Thanks, I guess that could be an option. I would just have to find a way how to seperate the heater PCB from the existing glass, it does appear to be glued to it quite strongly

Well I don’t have any way to mount the PEI bed? This is a glas bed with the heater glued to it, and the mounting screws are integrated into the heater. So I would need to find a way to either seperate the glass from the heating PCB or somhow mount the new bed on top of the exisiting one.

Unless there are cheaper compatbile option I did not find. It is quite hard to find something for this specific printer
