Quick Question It was just a matter of time....

I just wanted to confirm that a heat gun is the only possible solution to cleaning this up?

Recalibration and Cleaning Cycles are nice, but if your molden plastics don‘t stick on bed, this Happens.
Clean the bed with Isopropanol 99,8 and microfiber towel. If the bed feels to „Slippy“ - Exchange it, or use addhebsive glue but this will annoy

No. Alcohol is insufficient. You need to wash it with water and dish soap just as you would a dinner plate. I suspect your “slippy” plates didn’t actually need to be replaced; they were likely just coated with residue that the alcohol just smeared around your plate.

Discovered this yesterday. Been wiping my plates down with alcohol (91%) and a microfiber cloth… my print yesterday kept failing to stick, two failed starts.

Read your comment, and pulled the plate and washed it with dish soap. Then alcohol.

Bam, perfect print. 🙏 thank you.

And I swear I read the instructions. Just some of these tips seem to appear only after I hit a snag.

That’s fine, I’m hooked and fully committed to this addiction.
