SOLUTION
Remove the build plate from your MakerBot
Replicator Mini and wait for the object to cool
down. Objects will detach more easily after they
have cooled.
If the object is still stuck, take a thin metal craft
spatula and carefully work the blade under the
edge of the object. When the blade is most of the
way under the object, twist the handle slightly.
The object should come free.
Ensure that the build plate is clean. Dust and oil
from your hands or tears and wrinkles in the build
plate tape can prevent objects from sticking to
the plate. Wipe down the build surface with a
clean, lint-free cloth. Replace ripped build plate
tape with fresh tape.
Make sure that build plate tape is not covering
the metal disks at the back of the build plate.
Covering the metal disks may interfere with the
automated leveling process.
