I’d say a Neo based on how the fan shroud looks

What did you do to that poor build plate?!?

A lot of printing. It’s basically impossible to clean it well.

Are you removing your prints when the build plate is still hot? If so, and your plate is PEI, it’ll get destroyed

It looks like a glass carborundum Creality plate. I have one of them, they work really well until one day they just don’t.

With that one (creality textured glass carborundum something or other) I kept hitting it with 95%+ IPA, it just gives out eventually. I switched to a textured spring steel plate recently, world of difference for petg, PLA, and tpu. It’s just another consumable :/

If you’re not ready to switch yet a layer of masking tape can get you by for awhile, it’s just a pain because the masking tape will need to be replaced about every other print depending on your settings.

Yeah I think you need a new build surface, friend.

How expensive are they?

As cheap as $2 from Ikea for a mirror or roughly $15 for a PEI sheet. Print surfaces are consumables like nozzles or filament.

This print bed has seen better days but doesn’t need to be replaced right now.

Btw. Using PETG on glass or Creality glass surfaces is a great way to destroy them in a timely manner.

This is very informative thanks. I’ve printed a lot of PLA on my Creality glass plate with no issues, but I recently started with PETG and it’s insane how much harder it sticks.

I learned through trial and error to only remove it while the bed is still hot, but even then it really sticks too well.

I don’t know what it is with ender build plates but they only seem to last about 30-ish prints on the PEI side for me, switched to the glass side and glue stick with moderately better results
