It actually IS possible to print on the plain glass on the other side. Many early machines only had glass as a build plate, so that’s valid - especially with various other materials.
The black surface does wear out over time, when you need to replace it, a magnetic sheet + PEI build surface is probably what you want to move to. The biggest problem with the black glass plates is that the surface acts like sandpaper; and it can easily destroy a nozzle with just a short swipe across it.
Ah got it. Just thought you meant that the plastic peels off if i used it that way round lol
I do rotate the bed occasionally. I feel like it wears evenly but i guess i could just rotate the print instead.
Well well … I don’t really care too much about apearances anyway.
