SITALL GLASS HEATBEDS
Sitall is a Russian glass works, specializing in premium packaging products. Based in Roslav, 400km (250 miles) southwest of Moscow.
Sitall Glass is something they developed for the 3D Printer market and for RepRap print Heat platforms.
Without any other adhesives Sitall glass work likSte Wolfbite its molecules start moving and of course expanding slightly which when heated up keeps the prints glued.
All normal Filament types works on this glass bed. Its hard to rip even with significant force when still above 85C. But when printing ends and HeatBed cools to 70-80C, ABS model will unstick by itself.

Seems good, will have to try it with my 3d printer!
What is the unit cost, and any warranty for it? Id’ be worried about chipping and gouging this without something like tape over it.
This seems like something great. I can’t believe I haven’t heard anyone talk about this before. I’ve never ordered anything from Russia before, I wonder if there would be any red tape? I’d love to look this up and see how much it sells for.
I will definately give this a go.
