Better printing surface

Post by imsmooth » Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:19 am

I have found that roughted glass has superior adhesion for the printing process. I can get 8x10 borosilicate glass that is professionally roughed. I can order a quantity of these. Is it worth $30-35 for a better printing surface, or is everyone content with what they have for ABS?

I hear many who have issues with the stock Makergear glass.

I use hair spray with no issues. ABS will curl if the infill is hgh.
Rsilvers profiles fixed that for me.

Here's the hair spray brand and type I use. Maker Geek recommends this exact spray on their website:
