New glass bed, should I glue it?

Question

I have an Ender 3, I got a new glass bed, the bed comes with glue on the back.

Should I stick the glass bed to the aluminium base? or just use it with the clips? I saw other people just use the clips, but my glass seems to have a sticky back...

Answer 1

There are pro and cons for leaving the sticky protection baking paper on the slate of glass:

pros (for not glueing it):

• Can be removed more easily in the future (the collant is not easy to remove, requires a solvent and elbow grease)
• Can remove the slate of glass to put it in the refrigerator to loosen stuck prints

cons:

• Need for binder clips that may cause nozzle collision and decreases bed size (unless you use kapton tape to fix the bed)
• Backing paper adds another layer of insulation (unless you remove it and all the goo)

Answer 2

Use Clips on either the left or the right. The aluminum might not be flat. Using clips or the adhesive will cause the glass to warp, defeating the point of using the glass.
