I'm tired of having a full body strength workout trying to remove my prints from the default glass plate.

Are there flexible build plates I can use instead?

Google the size of your printers bed and purchase a decently rated pei spring steel sheet with a magnet.

Alternatively try putting your glass in the freezer for a bit, it should help with getting prints removed. Sometimes a bit of glue stick can help too.

Freeze the glass plate while print is there? Or Freeze it ahead of time

While the print is on there!
