/u/JorrdKarrd - If it's stuck to the glass too hard, don't HEAT it, instead FREEZE it, it should pop right off.


PETG really likes glass or PEI beds. Too much so. You need to always use a slightly thick layer of glue stick under it to help release it. Some use tape then glue.


It then adheres to the glue not the glass ot PEI.


RE: Hotends -

What /u/digitalm3 said, go E3D. BTW- for all reading - if you grab an Amazon URL don't take anything AFTER the item number, usually starting with a ? symbol, like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M5AHF0Z


instead of this:

IF you include the last part the link stops working after a little while, the other will always work. :-)

For those asking about a new hot end I would suggest E3D over Microswiss as someone whose had both. I got the microswiss first because I liked the idea of not having to print a mount for it or rewire. I regret that decision because I constantly had issues with clogs. The good part about e3d is there are tons of mounts for it. When you do rewire remember to use some JST Connectors so you can replace stuff at will.

If you don’t like soldering pick up some of these while you’re at it:

With these it makes splicing in the jst connectors super simple and done in 30 minutes :)

For an inline battery power connector I typically use a polarized "JST" connector like this or this and wire pads on the PCB. For an onboard power connector, a "JST" like this. These JST connectors are all polarized. You could also go with the smaller JST sizes to save space, but they are a little more difficult to work with.

I recognize the connector from my drone hobby. It's a JST connector. You can grab some here and splice or solder a new one on.

You could get a jst connector and solder it where the cr2032 is and you could get a just 1s lipo that is smalll of of amazon and I am pretty sure that would do it

I replaced my hotend with a microswiss right away and jacked up both it and the original, but learned a lesson and added plugs to everything. Hotends usually come with crimpable plugs, but they're all different so I standardized on these for fans https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5AHF0Z/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And this type (xt60) for the hotend cuz current https://www.amazon.com/Female-Connector-Housing-Silicon-Battery/dp/B073QJWVVK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1517496061&sr=8-5&keywords=xt60+connectors

All of the plugs made my wiring kinda fat, so when you join the Bowden tube, the wiring, and the ezabl cord its just heavy enough to droop lower than the gantry and get rubbed back and forth during prints. I designed a chain link style support in blender that anchors at the extruder and velcro'd the bundle to it. It allows free xy movement but not z. It works really well but could prolly be optimized. 😃

My printer came with the bed heater wiring strain relief already printed and installed, definitely do so. Also, get a dial gauge. Seriously. Print a gantry mount for it and slip it on to use it when needed.
