Borosilicate glass bed local source

Post by GeriatricPilot »

G'day, just had my glass bed wrecked, a print took such a good hold that it lifted a chunk out of the glass. Anyway, I ordered a new one from SeeMeCNC, and thought that it might be a good idea to find a good source locally with a shorter delivery time as I am going to be out of action until my bed is replaced. I found a good company which will cut you a glass bed at the correct dimensions you specify, and temper and smooth the edges. On receiving both sheets, I was unable to tell the difference. The Australian supplier guarantees a perfectly flat surface.
The local supplier is Helm Australia, P.O. Box 1102 Hornsby NSW 1630. Web site is http://helmaus.com.au/. Obviously if you want to get the authentic bed, get it from SeeMeCNC, but if you are in a hurry and need a quick replacement, Helm can help. I now am going to carry 2 beds just in case. I guess I should also get a spare hot end too.
