Let the bed cool down all the way, ya little gremlin! If you absolutely can't wait, put the bed on a tile floor and your print should pop off on it's own pretty quick.

I do! Lol I've had a print stuck to my bed for the last 2 weeks.

If it is a removable bed, pop that bad boy in the freezer for a bit and the print should pop off. If not then you may want to try some glue stick on the bed before a print which will help the print release since it'll pull off the glue.

It is, but muh freezer's full of food and it is glue sticked lol.

Damn that's wild, what type of bed is it?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

Ender 5 glass bed.

When a print is really stuck, I use a puddy knife with a fine edge and a hammer to get them separated.

I don't want to scratch the glass or I would.

[–] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is a glass bed on an Ender that I am doing this on. I haven't had any issues with scratching the bed whatsoever. Mild steel is actually softer than glass so it might actually be harder to scratch than you might think. Your mileage may vary though.

Huh, well, that's what I'm on too so I guess maybe it'll work out lol

[–] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

God speed, lol.

FWIW I exclusively use PLA and don't have experience with any other materials.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

Same but PLA+ lol
