1.) Glass would be a good idea because the heated bed flexes as it heats and cools, but glass stays flat. Also make sure that you are printing on a surface that your filament will stick to (Blue tape or sometimes glass for PLA depending on the PLA, Kapton or acrylic for ABS). 2.) As long as your extruder is a Greg's or Wades you're good, the Buda just bolts into the holes on the bottom. 3.) MDFby diytechshop - General
I would check the wiring to make sure there isn't a problem there (loose headers, broken wires etc...) . Also, do you have the motors wired in series (both sets of the wires soldered together going to a single header) or in parallel (each motor separately plugged into the electronics)?by diytechshop - General
It definitely gets as hot, actually it gets hotter because the underside is the side that has the traces which generate the heat. Also be careful of what you mount the heated bed on, we tried an aluminum plate for our first mount which quickly became a giant heat sink . Hope that helps.by diytechshop - General
Also make sure that your motors have enough power, because I personally have found that after tightening my belts sometimes the motors need a little more power to over come little bumps and tugs on the carriage.by diytechshop - General
I don't know of a service that does that but if you want to make an investment you could check out buying a filament recycler such as a Lyman or Filabot. It's no small amount of money but in the long term it can really save you money (and help you be green at the same time ). If you check around locally there is also probably a plastics manufacturer that would be willing to help you out as well.by diytechshop - General
