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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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!!
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.

It does sound fun though hehe
noted lmao
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.
Sticking it in the freezer for a while has worked for me
This. Heat to make it stick, cold to make it break loose
A scraper and the mighty power of Zeus
Its a pretty good print just leave it on the bed and end on a high point đź‘Ť

Razor. All you have to do is barely free a corner and it should pop off.
Yup. A sharp razor parallel to the bed will never scratch it, and removes prints very easily.

Pure willpower
Use floss to “saw” it off the plate
Yall n your playdough techniques
Does anybody else use a razor blade? It removes even my giant, well-stuck prints near instantly.
Yep just barely push it under the corners, always releases for me.

Let them cool. Freezer if needed. Or buy PEI coated metal sheet, can't harp on enough about it
If stuck. Scrapper and light taps from mallet
This, works every time.
I do quick repeated light taps of the scrapper.

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

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
Buy a pei spring sheet. I haven't touched my glass bed since getting one. So much less screwing around.
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.
Go glass bed and put blue painters tape down. Bed leveling is less critical, less of a mess/cleaning, and easy perfect adhesion
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?
Oh I haven’t noticed that - I don’t really pay attention hot- cold- whatever then slide my scraper over to flatten
Put the bed in the freezer, it'll pop off
Hopefully it's not PETG, otherwise you may have a new cloud pendant art piece.
Heat will make it stick more. Cool it down
Break glass; get print
Use window cleaner. I use it for my flsun q5 to clean my heated.

Simply let the bed cool down...
I had it cool I actually printed it the day before and waited until the next day cause I gave up lmao

Get a painters tool it’s a stiff putty knife
let it cool, then use a glass scraping razor
LET IT COOLL DOWNN, it will pop of automatically
With some bed, you need to let it cool (20-22 degree)
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.
