Ultimaker S7 print bed for the S5?

[Xenato 0]

Hi all, 
as already written in the title, I ask myself the question of whether the S7 pressure bed will also be available for the S5. We have with us unfortunately always the problem that the people who use our S5 are too impatient and when trying to remove the components from the glass plate make this broken. (Students can be a bit annoying 😉). We have in 6 months 4x had to change the glass plate so the pressure bed of the S7 would be a very good alternative. Does anyone have any information if this will be available?

Many greetings

Sadly not at this time.

You may want to consider using alternative build surfaces that are more durable than glass, such as PEI sheets or BuildTak. These surfaces are known for their toughness and can withstand repeated use without being damaged. Additionally, you could consider educating your students on proper print removal techniques, such as allowing the build plate to cool down before attempting to remove the print or using a spatula to gently lift the print off the plate.

Thanks for the answers. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the students do what they want, although it has been explained and shown to them many times correctly.
