Glass cooling stand

thingiverse

A Solidoodle 2 owner shares their print bed upgrade for faster switching between parts and easier part removal. They use a sheet of glass on top of the heated print bed, which can be easily rotated through three plates stored in a heated box for quick pre-heating. The glass is sprayed with cheap maximum hold hairspray to create a tacky surface that helps ABS stick well during printing. To remove prints, simply slide them off the cooled glass onto the cooling stand, saving time and effort compared to Kapton tape. Printing on glass is highly recommended and results in quicker turnaround times between prints. The attached STL file is designed for a Solidoodle 2 with a 6" print bed and can be adjusted for other sizes by modifying the armLen variable in the scad file.
