Bed and extruder home height & PrintBite bed
-
My extruder is going too close to the bed when homing so the first layer is squeezed. How do I change the config files to raise the extruder when homing.
Also, I broke the glass sheet under my printbite sheet. Does anyone know how to remove the printbite from the glass so I can apply it to another glass sheet?
Thaanks for the graet community support!

Changed the G31 Z setting and it works! Just like the documents said.
Now if I can separate the PrintBite from the broken glass I'll be a happy camper. -
I doubt you're going to be able to do that. I just removed it from our print bed and the glass wasn't broken and it was still a chore.
Once it's off, trying to completely clean the sheet and then get a smooth even layer of adhesive isn't going to be easy.
Not trying to bash Printbite, but it was too much of a PIA to work with for me. Just went back to PEI- expensive lesson to learn.

I couldn't get PrintBite to works either but I did manage to remove it from the glass. What I did was to pry up a little corner with a small flat blade screwdriver then poor Acetone into the crack. The Acetone partially dissolved the adhesive. Then wait a few seconds, pry a bit more, and pour more Acetone into the crack and repeat the process. It's really messy and I used a lot of Acetone. In my case, I managed to salvage the glass but the PrintBite was also intact (before I though it in the bin).
