Description

Recommended print settings:

  • Material:  PLA
  • Layer Height: 0.20 (SPEED)
  • Infill % : 15+
  • Supports: No
  • Print Orientation: Default as modeled

 

I made this part to be a quick print that helps remove stubborn stuck-on material on the build plate. For example, when I print PETG, with supports, I get a lot of material that is very difficult to remove from the plate:

 

 

The intent for this print is to print over the stuck-on material in a large flat plate that will help remove the material when the part is lifted. 

 

Here you can see the printer mid-print - the stuck on material is just visible through the first layer: 

          

 

Final product:

 

After removal - it didn't take all the material, but it did help loosen what was there. I cleaned the rest up with some mild scraping and pulling

 

 

You can see where this print adhered to the stuck material, but couldn't quite pull it loose - it's possible that by being more careful during the removal, I could have gotten this to work better.

 

Print this to help remove residue from previous prints - for example, when I print a part with PETG and supports, it is very difficult to clean the textured build plate from all the tiny pieces of material.
