My Voxelab Aquila came with a standard glass printbed. So far I thought I had no issues. Recently I thought I will printing PETG a try. Result -> no chance to get that print from the bed without damaging one of both (of course I let I cool down first). But even before I had more and more adhesion problems. So after a few friends suggested I gave the magnetic PEI printbed a try and so far I have to say I am pretty happy with it. Prints stick good and come out great. Should have done that already a while ago. Oh and because I was already working on it I changed the bed leveling springs to rubber buffers. Seems a lot more sturdy now.

Here you are:

And your problem with octoprint… did you still use Voxelmaker for slicing? How did you transfer the files and how did you start printing (via printers display or octoprints webinterface)? Also what Settings/Temps did you use? Could also be bad filament or moisture. I think best would be you post a picture in this community and describe it as exactly as possible.
