I use a sheet of glass on top of the heated print bed on my Solidoodle 2 printer. This makes it much faster to switch between parts. The glass plate also makes it tons easier to remove parts after printing. If you haven't experienced the wonderful workflow of glass print beds, you are really missing out (see basics below)!
I designed this thing to be a cooling rack for the glass plates after they come off the bed. I have 3 plates that I rotate through as I'm printing different items. I happened to have a small heated box (used for hot towels) hanging around so I use that to store and pre-heat my glass plates. Using this method, my turn time between parts is less than 5 minutes. Quite an improvement from using just the heated bed where turn times were 45 minutes or more between parts.
