I forgot to put back the metal plate on my Anycubic Kobra 2 and pressed print. Managed to stop it relatively quickly but still damaged the heating surface a bit and it chipped away some of the material as you can see. How fucked am I?

    I am not familiar with your model of printer, but from looking at Google it looks like it’s a typical FDM printer with a spring steel bed. These beds follow this pattern

    • Spring steel on top
    • Adhesive magnetic below that
    • Aluminum bed below that
    • Heater below that

    So your heater is just fine and you gouged the magnet. I would remove any high points from the magnetic layer, so it doesn’t push the spring steel up in that area, and carry on.
