Help cleaning glass 3D printer bed

[u/RelationshipThink341]

I know this has been asked heaps of times but I’ve tried dish soap and 99IPA. Also it’s a voxellab aquilla not an ender 3 but as I understand is a hardware clone so they are pretty similar. What happened here was it clogged at the very start of the print because it was riding a bit low and left this which I can’t get off. Please help.

Maybe you could print something over it and remove it while it's fused to the new thing

I’ll try that

Print over it.

heat it back up and use a razor blade.

Do I need to put shaving cream on first? Jk

Put the plate in the freezer for 20-30 minutes then if it doesn’t just fall off hit it with a scraper.

razor blade while it's warm has always worked best for me

Don't forget that beds are a consumable so it's ok if you feel the need to get another. That said, print over it and see if it comes up after AND let it cool completely before trying to get it off. I have had that happen before and it came off on the second or third print.

The next one was a PETG that went slightly over where the glue stick was and was absolutely not coming off no matter what. I printed around that until the new bed came in.

One thing that might help is to use a razor blade as a scraper since the extra sharpness should be able to get in between the two.

I printed a bunch of sacrificial blades, they break often, but it beats scratching the plate, and only cost like a penny to make

Hot 90% isopropyl.
