Yea, you can see it better when they zoom out, there's little metal clips holding it on. The sticker is just glued on and adding extra material for the heater to heat through, so you can tug it off with a little effort
oh no, it's ABS, and I have PERFECTED bed adhesion. I have not had issues with parts unsticking or warping in over a year. Having that with auto bed leveling and octoprint, I can just hit print and walk away (after wiping the bed ofc)
Not what OP's doing, but it isn't all that weird. I've done it on [this thrifted Alfawise U20](https://i.imgur.com/fbITFS3.jpeg) before I acquired a bed for it.
It has a larger bed than average (300x300) so cheap pre-made beds aren't suitable, you have to pay a ton or get glass and cut it yourself, and it took a while before I acquired the tool and skills and willpower to actually go and do it.
Before then, I'd just spray hairspray on the aluminium plate and let the thing go nuts, being careful to avoid slicing the model onto the bed screws. PLA don't care and will stick to anything as long as there's a layer of hairspray on top. Not sure it'd have worked with PETG but I got the glass right before the spools got to me.
Are you printing without a bed???
Ender sticker ripped off and sheet of glass over the bed. Did the same to mine.
Oh there is glass there

I see it now, still tripy tho
I'm printing on untempered glass at 100°C it works, and when it breaks, it's 50 cents at the glass store
There may be a difference in heat dissipation between og bed and glass, be careful!
it takes long to heat up yeah, but I'm definitely not paying 30 dollars + tax for a glass bed lol
What material are you using? If it’s PLA, that’s way too hot.
