USING EXTREME CAUTION,
We have found this tapping action is much safer and much easier to remove a model rather than pure
brute force and it is also better for the print bed. Look for corners of the model and tap them with the
scraper flat on the bed. After several taps the print should pop off the bed. If the print has a large
surface area on the print bed it may be harder to remove and you may have to slide the scraper below
the model.
Remember the scraper is very sharp and NEVER place your
hand behind the area you are scraping. Taking a few extra
seconds to remove the model is much better than a trip to the
hospital.
Once the print is removed, inspect it to see how it printed using the current settings. You can record
what happened with each print and over time it will become intuitive.
If the print has any stringing or globs stuck to the side you can carefully use a blade to remove the
plastic or in some cases it just flakes off.
Note: A heat source, such as a lighter, works great to heat the plastic to
fix any problem areas and to smooth very sharp edges. Use caution
when using the lighter because smoke particulate may stain the model.
Remember you just want the heat from the flame not the flame itself to
touch the model. This method will also remove any slight stringing.
Your 3D printer contains very hot elements with high power requirements. Printer should be used in a
well ventilated safe location near a smoke detector or other warning system. Do not leave your printer
unattended for long periods of time and make sure to always monitor your print until completion.
take the supplied scraper and gently tap at the edges of the print.
