Borosilicate Glass Bed Upgrade Kit for Flashforge Creator Pro

Got this for my Flash Forge Creator Pro. It's quite expensive for "just a piece of glass" and don't let the fancy "borosilicate" term fool you- it's just Pyrex. I found the green tape impossible to put on smoothly, so I punted on that.Pros:easy to installfits wellCons:it chips and "peels" easily. One side of mine already jas a chip and one place where about a square centimeter flaked off (right in the center, of course)

This is by far the best upgrade I have done for my Flashforge. It works far better than the factory tape or mat that comes with it. I use a small amount of hair spray every few prints (no need to do it every-time) and the prints stick flawlessly. The best benefit is I don't have prints that are stuck to the build surface to the point that I damage them trying to get them off. I just let the print cool and it pops right off. I have yet to have a print lift off the glass and I have printed 100+ things at least. Highly recommend!

When I first received this I thought it was 5 stars. The glass fit perfectly. The mounts to the bed it self fit perfectly. Heck, they even included some kapton tape!However, after doing some more research on getting some extra glass sheets I noticed that this product was way over priced. Flash Forge sells a similar piece of glass on their website for half of the price.The real problem i had with these is the included mounts. They warped! They are of even less quality than the version that I printed myself. I am not sure what they used to print their mounts but I printed my mounts with cheap ABS and even they are lasting longer than Makersome's verison. Very disappointed. I have included pictures that show the mounts warping.I do not recommend this product for anyone else. You can get the piece of glass cheaper elsewhere, and the mounts you can print yourself ahead of time.

This is a must-have upgrade for the Creator Pro. Flashforge should just include one of these with their printers to save everyone the frustrations of warped prints (although I guess there's something to be said for the learning experience). Every single print is coming out flawlessly now that I've put in this glass plate and chucked the blue pad.Minus one star though for cheaping out and only giving us only two corner pieces and two wingnuts. Using only two, the glass wiggles visibly. I printed out two extra ones from Thingiverse (just search "makersome") and used the two spare wingnuts that my Creator Pro came with. And that keeps the glass steady. For people who don't have spare wingnuts, you'll need to get them in M3 size. The chain hardware stores only go as small as M4, so order them online when you order this.Also as somebody else mentioned, use Aqua Net super extra hold unscented (three coats). But don't buy it here. It costs $2.99 a bottle at your local drug store.

easy install. You tighten the plate down but sometimes on long prints it comes loose and shifts the plate. The result is a print that offsets after hours of run times.

I would really only give this a 4.5 star, but this is a MUCH better product than the one directly from the Flashforge USA website.Pros:1. The glass is very flat and smooth.2. This is a complete kit, with an almost perfectly sized shim. The glass I received required less than 1mm adjustment of the bed height.Cons:1. PET tape extended past the edge of the glass and as such was not adhering to the side (this was brought up in another review). This didn't really bother me as I just print directly on the glass with a little  Aqua Net Unscented Extra Super Hold Hair Spray 11 Oz (Pack of 6)  and my prints come out amazing.2. The parts included aren't anything you can't get from Thingiverse for free. Not really a big issue to me, because if nothing else it saved me the time of printing them, but still.3. The wingnuts keep working themselves loose.4. You have to remove the nuts from two of the corner screws on the heated bed which is really annoying if you still have Kapton tape on.5. The corner brackets are not solid, so they tend to deform quite easily at the wingnut especially when using the heated bed.Suggestions:1. Redesign the corner brackets to allow the original nuts to stay on the screws. This would make it possible to tighten the wingnuts without a hex wrench.2. Make the corner brackets out of a more durable material. Personally, I am working on CNCing a set out of aluminum (or aluminium for my friends across the pond).3. Add a fender washer and lock washer to keep the bracket snug without deforming it.Closing Thoughts:I would say this was well worth the price and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to get the best possible prints from their Flashforge Creator Pro.

Well.. there were NO instructions included. Went the manufacturers page and the first thing it stated was that the they had put the film on for you as as a convenience. Well.. that was not true and spent the next hour trying to apply the film without tons of air bubbles. I was not successful and stored it for future use. The fittings worked just fine so it's not a single star..

The glass came from the vendor and everything works ok. I did have one issue; I think the vendor needs to improve their quality control to make sure the PET tape is firmly applied to the glass without any air bubbles and what appeared to be peeling on the edges.Either way, I decided to remove the PET tape and simply print directly to the glass. Ironically, the prints are flatter, and take on an illustrious mirror shine.
