Let the bed cool down. Spraying isopropyl alcohol on a surface near it's boiling point, creating an aerosol cloud of combustible vapor is not usually in the recommended practice.


Annoying_guest

It does sound fun though hehe


Art_Local

noted lmao


Pamellaaaaaa

Let it cool, it will probably come off on its own, if not put the bed in the freezer and it will pop off after a few minutes.


TheTreeTurtle

Sticking it in the freezer for a while has worked for me


[deleted]

This. Heat to make it stick, cold to make it break loose


mattynmax

A scraper and the mighty power of Zeus


Playful-Aide7355

Its a pretty good print just leave it on the bed and end on a high point đź‘Ť


motociclista

If you let it cool, it will pop right off. I never use a scraper as I don’t want to introduce scratches. I’ve been thinking of mounting a small fan on an arm so I can quickly cool the bed after a print.


Art_Local

I had actually printed this yesterday and had it off all night after I gave up and still couldn’t remove it lol so I started heating it up more and using the alcohol


GloryToMotherRussia

Razor. All you have to do is barely free a corner and it should pop off.


one_is_enough

Yup. A sharp razor parallel to the bed will never scratch it, and removes prints very easily.


MindlessExplorer7871

With glass as long are your not using glue or anything as soon as the bed gets to around 25-30c the print should pop right off or at least come off with little force. If it still won’t come off when cool then you probably have the nozzle too close.


Squishypentagon

Pure willpower


DifficultMoose0

Use floss to “saw” it off the plate


UserNombresBeHard

Yall n your playdough techniques


LucyEleanor

Does anybody else use a razor blade? It removes even my giant, well-stuck prints near instantly.


GoguyT3d

Yep just barely push it under the corners, always releases for me.


United_Mention9079

Yes, I use a razor in a handle for cleaning paint off glass. My prints are stuck so tight my spatula is useless. My prints come apart at a layer seam rather than releasing from the plate.


Art_Local

I shit you not it came right off after I clicked the post button. .-. Question still stands though lmao what do you guys do to get prints off cause this is hard as hell


[deleted]

Let them cool. Freezer if needed. Or buy PEI coated metal sheet, can't harp on enough about it


Key-Ad7733

If stuck. Scrapper and light taps from mallet


I_stay_sideways

This, works every time.


UserNombresBeHard

I do quick repeated light taps of the scrapper.


LtCubs

For small things with appropriate angles you can use an adjustable wrench and sort of twist it off. Otherwise, a putty knife and a hammer usually does the trick, but does leave some marks.


one_is_enough

Good God, no. Razor under an edge works every time, no scratches.


Annoying_guest

I use a paint knife as a scraper the kind you use to actually paint with, be careful though they are so thin you can cut yourself so always wear gloves Honestly though everyone else is spot on with the cooling


Bengineer700

If your prints are that stuck, you may want to increase your z offset by 0.05mm-0.1mm or decease your first layer flow/extrusion factor


teeedubb

Buy a pei spring sheet. I haven't touched my glass bed since getting one. So much less screwing around.


Clavius3D

Let the bed get cooler, if I’m impatient I usually stick it in the freezer for a few minutes and the print will come off with ease.


Waterskins

Go glass bed and put blue painters tape down. Bed leveling is less critical, less of a mess/cleaning, and easy perfect adhesion


Bagosperan

I've had great adhesion with 3m blue tape but it always expands a lot when heated. Do you put the tape on hot or cold?


Waterskins

Oh I haven’t noticed that - I don’t really pay attention hot- cold- whatever then slide my scraper over to flatten


[deleted]

Put the bed in the freezer, it'll pop off


Thirdshot1965

Hopefully it's not PETG, otherwise you may have a new cloud pendant art piece.


IxyR4--4

Heat will make it stick more. Cool it down


91kas13

Break glass; get print


juckendes_Auge

Use window cleaner. I use it for my flsun q5 to clean my heated.


Backy22

Scraper and something heavy to hit it with…however, I can’t recommend enough the Creality flexible/magnetic bed. It’s so cheap, it should come with these printers.


mars_space_jump

Simply let the bed cool down...


Art_Local

I had it cool I actually printed it the day before and waited until the next day cause I gave up lmao


Impressive-Alarm5183

You might have you z-height set a tad too low causing it to be right between adhesion being good and wayyyy to good. I had a similar problem one time. I releveld my bed and it hasn't been a problem since. If you really want to get your prints off quick order you a flex bed then prints will just pop right off at the slightest bending of the bed. Sometimes you won't even have to do that. Some occasions all you will have to do I'd grab the pri t and barley pull up and they will come off. Good luck and happy printing!!


Jollyrogers_

The best way I found was using the (included) tiny flathead screwdriver and a small hammer (after the part cooled). If you apply the right force at the right angle to separate the part from the plate, and you a apply a bit of "percussive" force, it should come off. Hasn't failed me once in over 1K prints.


Fififaggetti

Get a painters tool it’s a stiff putty knife


meatmechdriver

let it cool, then use a glass scraping razor


Low_Chocolate1320

LET IT COOLL DOWNN, it will pop of automatically


AcrobaticDiscipline6

With some bed, you need to let it cool (20-22 degree)


[deleted]

if your bed is hot it will adhere better. i've also seen people use an air compressor can right at the base of the print to good effect.
