Description
There is an easy way to make your bed scraper much better: sharpen the edge!
This can be easily done on a piece of sandpaper (180 grit or similar). With a sharp edge the blade slips under the objects to be lifted up from the print bed much more easily.
Also, because the blade is made from plastic, there is little danger to damage your print bed surface.
This thing is a scraper designed for sharpening.
The blade is replaceable and optimized to be flexible and have a sharp edge.
With a sharpened edge this scraper works MUCH better! Even when printed with the finest layers the performance is not nearly as good without sharpening. Don't skip this step!
The edge will of course deteriorate quickly but is rebuild easily with only a few strokes on a piece of sandpaper. To make this even easier, a dustbox has been added into which a strip of sandpaper can be mounted.
USE
The scraper has to be held with the smooth side of the blade facing up (so that it can slide easily under your prints).
