When do we need to replace the head bed for i3MK3S/3S+?
Hi, during several XYZ calibrations, my nozzle hit the head bed violently. Paper was torn. I can see some blocks of brown rectangles on it at different corners. Do I need to replace it? When is the time to do so?

Do you have a photo of the damage?
I know that in some cases the nozzle being driven strongly into the printbed can be due to a bad Pinda, or a Pinda badly out of vertical adjustment.

There you go

I had something similar due to simple wear. Someone suggested automotive enamel paint -- the type for engine blocks -- as an easy fix. I've applied some and used it for months since with no issues. If you're not having any printing abnormalities, that may be all you need.

If painting something on top, won't that cause unevenness in layer height and perhaps temperature?
