Clearance – Borosilicate Glass Build Plates
Brand:Ooznest
Borosilicate glass is not like normal glass. With borosilicate glass the main constituents are silica and boron trioxide. This combination gives borosilicate glass very low coefficient of thermal expansion, this makes it resistant to thermal shock and thermal stresses. Historically borosilicate glass is commonly used to make test tubes, however with the advent of 3D Printers, it has found a new application.
An ideal 3D Printer build surface needs to be perfectly flat, and glass is a good candidate for this. However normal window glass will expand under the temperature fluctuations of a 3D Printer heated bed. If it is constrained around the edges (i.e bulldog clips) this can cause it to bow in the Z Direction and effect your print quality; even worse it will crack. Using borosilicate glass overcomes these pitfalls from using normal glass, and is the ideal solution for 3D Printer build platforms.
We can guarantee that the glass we sell is genuine borosilicate glass, many suppliers of so called borosilicate glass, are in fact supplying soda lime glass. The difference can be easily spotted, soda lime has a blue tinge around the edges, whereas borosilicate glass has a slight yellow tinge.

Custom cut and chamfered, perfect fit, exactly to the size requested. glass is very good quality, and came extremely well packed. if you are looking for replacement glass for your build bed, this is the one that you want. there is no patterning or anything on the surface, just perfectly flat glass, great for adhesion.

The custom 3d printer glass bed was cut correctly to size and sent in one day. the only negative is the box it came in was way larger than needed. however, it was wrapped and snug (packaging paper) inside the large box. would highly recommend.

Excellent service. I broke my build plate and needed a replacement fast. Even in these strange times a new one arrived the next day.
josh pleavin (verified owner) –
Product seems like great quality
Will Gleave (verified owner) –
Really nice bit of glass, corners are sharp for sure if you don’t go with filleting, but definitely not enough to cut you or cause harm, if i was to buy it again i’d probably get the filleting though. glass is super flat as advertised, printer works flawlessly now as long as the bed is nice and level.
thanks!
