Is G10 the best print surface after 5mths?

[shaynebates]

If anyone has some worn out G10 sheets, like scratches on the face making it hard to use, give it to some knife makers. We mostly only see the edge and use them as spacers for the handle scales so the face condition is not so important. Also it's hard to get with the 3d community buying it all up.

It is amazing. The shop that sells it happens to be 5 mins from my work so after seeing your first video I went and checked it out. I love it

Bought a couple of sheets of G10 recently after watching your previous video.

I'm converted.

I've been using a PEI bed for the past 18 months, but this surface is fantastic!

I just love how easy it is to remove a print after it the bed has cooled down and, not forgetting the best part, the extremely low price compared to the other types of bed.

I would rather spend my time tuning *any* other element of my printer than screwing around trying to get something like PETG to stick reliably to the print bed. G10 has eliminated the problem of bed adhesion for me and I absolutely love it. Many thanks to Maker's Muse!

Installed G10 on my tevo black widow (weird bed size, no steel sheets available) a few days ago. Working great so far, especially for PETG. Thank you for the idea, Angus!

I saw your video about this and bought a sheet. I refuse to use anything else at this point! It’s such an amazing surface to print on, and PETG pops right off once cooled! I freaking love this stuff!

Found a US supplier that I was able to order cut to size for an Ender 3. Have used it on my Enders and since I wound up with way more than I needed, ordered a bunch because I wasn't sure how long it would last, at this point I've just been giving the extras to students and friends because I'm still using my originals. Absolute joy with PETG.

Literally just bought my first sheet of G10 through Amazon yesterday. Super excited to get this upgrade 🙌🏻 thanks for the long term update!!

Swapped all my printers to G10 after your video and it's still amazing!

I love my G10!!! PETG and PLA just work like magic. I have never used glue or tape on my print surfaces and G10 just works amazingly, it’s kind of like magic. I’ll never go back to glass. I also love the surface finish on the bottom. Perfect bed surface. You need to order some of you haven’t yet.

Using it since abt 4 month on 2 printers, petg+abs, average 15-18 hours of print a day. No need to do anything with sheet, works like a charm since day one

Thank you for condensing a 10 minute video down into just 27 seconds.. Short n sweet, just what i wanted <3

I been loving the G10 ever since the last vid, most things stick to it perfectly. 10/10

It took some effort to find a Canadian supplier, but after the last video I gave it a try. I found I still have some adhesion issues with ABS but G10 is amazing with PLA. The super flat finish combined with more interesting first layer infill patterns makes Silk-Like really shine. (Literally.) The ONLY real issue I've had is scratching it with the scraper, when I was being to impatient to let the sheet cool down and too lazy to remove it from the printer. So that's on me.

I use G10 on my Bambu and it solved all of my adhesion issues. Plus I use a 1/8" thick piece to add rigidity to the thin flex plate. Parts that stay adhered to PEI, but lift the flex plate, stay flat. I've found it works with ABS, PC, PETG, PET, Nylon. They all release When it cools.

I bought a sheet of G10 based on your video, and holy crap it works really well. Very happy you suggested it. Using mine on an Anycubic Mega S.

I've used the copper clad circuit board (FR4) on the prusa with good results . After etching the sensor points it works very well. You do have to wait slightly longer for the bed to heat up and I added a pause into each print after bed leveling, so it can be flipped over to the composite side for the actual print. Been flawless so far, around 4hrs printing every day for over 5 months.

Hey makers Muse love your show please keep up the good work great information I've learned much from you

[shadyb]

Keep in mind that G10 isn't flame retardant. Flame retardant alternative is FR-4 which replaced G10 in PCB manufacturing and probably would be easier to find because of that.
FR-4 isn't colored if you like fancy but from functional standpoint it doesn't matter. You issues with nylon in the past most likely were caused by kind of epoxy used in your sheets. FR-4 would generally be a safer option in that regard.

Also if you can source thin 0.4-0.6mm sheets of FR-4/G10 you can glue them to steel plates with adhesive transfer tape and use without clips on magnetic bed. It keeps them flexible but without warping during print.

Can confirm it works awesome! Even after Months of daily use.
