[sudo-discuss] sudoroom 3D printer is working!

unfortunately the glass bed on our TAZ 3 can't be flipped over, because the
heating pad is stuck to it and I don't think it can be peeled off without being
destroyed.. although i dind't try super hard.

this is the heating pad we have:
https://www.lulzbot.com/store/parts/24v-silicone-heater

the link you supplied for a $35 replacement glass bed is just the glass,
without the heater.  if we can't reuse the heater that we have (because it's
stuck to the old glass) then that would be another $80

fortunately i think we can keep using the existing glass plate, we just need to
fill in the gouges with whatever is handy, perhaps JB weld or even silicone
caulk, and i think we'll be OK.
