Hi everyone, I finished putting together my Rostock max today(but have not powered it up yet). I would like to print on glass when I get fully operational. Do you all know if I should be looking for a special type of glass or will any I pick up from a local glass shop work? I may just end up ordering it from seemecnc.

Anything about 1/8th" thick and flat will work. Avoid anything with films or coatings.

Soda lime, borosilicate, or any alkali should work. Just make sure it doesn't outgas any type of contaminant at 130C +. If you print PLA I find that using isopropyl or Windex really helps the adhesion.

Let me redo that last comment. "Make sure it doesn't outgas below 130C".
