“You need to buy this special heater pad to break the screen adhesive!”

No, I think you will find that in fact I don’t.

    Seeing as you can do the exact same thing with a hairdryer, it’s inventing a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

      The heated bed is coupled to a thermistor. I’d argue controlling the temperature in order to not accidentally overheat parts of the phone is a step above a hair dryer.

        Also bad is that hair dryers don’t spread their heat around very well at all. You can easily create hotspots on the object and damage things with them.

          And, I don’t own a hairdryer. (Or much in the way of hair, these days.) But I do own a 3D printer…

      A hairdryer or heatgun kinda work, but it’s super easy to accidentally heat damage the display underneath (and it’s sensitivity only gotten worse with these super fancy displays these days).

      It also doesn’t spread the heat very well.

      This is a great solution because the bed is temp controlled and evenly spread
