That's the plan. How well I execute it is anyone's guess... But now that the bed leveling issue is sorted out, I am starting to build confidence in the machine, I can usually get successful prints, but there are still some spectacular failures when you don't catch them right away.
I have just ruined my PET tape layering hastily trying to remove a print, so I'm going to resist the urge to replace it and print straight to glass from now on. That was a lot sooner than I expected. I only did one print since and there was no appreciable difference in bed adhesion for PLA (as long as I use hairspray).
I'm already using 24V for the entire machine including the hotbed, I didn't really time it but it takes about two minutes to reach 60C (oddly enough I didn't notice a heating speed difference between 12V and 24V on the heatbed, I'll have to look into that). The hotend takes under 10 seconds to go from 20 to 200C.
Cheers,
Ben.
