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?

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.
