Operation | Detach print from build plate

Use water

• If you are having difficulties removing some of these parts with only a spatula, try out using water as described
below.
• As described before, wait at least 15 minutes after the print job has finished.
• Remove the build plate from the printer as shown in the
• Almost all the different adhesives are water soluble. Because of this reason one of the most effective ways to
remove some materials from the build plate is to dissolve the glue with some water.
Don't apply water inside of the printer! This can damage the printer and electronics inside of it.
• If you have a small part, spray water on the build plate where the model is located. You will start hearing it detach
from the build plate. Make sure that the water gets in under the part so the glue dissolves everywhere properly.
• Wait a few moments and remove the part, it should be easy to remove the part. If it is still adhered, apply more
water.
• If you have a big part it is recommended to put the whole build plate into a container of water and leave there to
let the adhesive dissolve.
• Depending on the size of the print the time it should soak in water differs. 5-10 min is usually enough.
• This process is recommended for ABS and TPU.
Be aware that PA and PAHTCF absorbs water so make sure to dry the part afterwards.
• When the print has been removed, place the build plate back in the printer and press the Continue button.

Reusage of the magigoo adhesives

Depending on the size and material the amount of times you can reuse the same adhesive differs. Although it is
possible to print several times and reuse the applied layer of the same magigoo, we recommend (see
for more information) cleaning the build plate with warm water and soap before each print to ensure a good first
layer adhesion.
The more time you are reusing it the higher the risk is that the model could warp or not stick properly. Dust, grease
or removing a print may also reduce the adhesion quality of a layer of glue.
Reusing the adhesive for ABS, PA and PPGF is not recommended.
Clean the build plate
Before starting a new print, check the build plate. If there are print leftovers or magigoo adhesive stuck to the build
plate, clean the build plate following these steps:
• Remove the build plate from the printer by opening the spring clips and sliding the build plate forward.
• The magigoo adhesives are easily washed away with regular water. Using regular soap will make it even easier.
All the magigoo adhesives are non-toxic making it safe to flush down in the drain.
• Use a towel or paper to wipe the build plate dry before putting it back into the printer.
• To reinstall the build plate see Install build plate.
Set up section and place it on a clean and flat surface.
