I.e cool enough to be solid but not cool enough to stick to plate ? . Otherwise be re taping every job ! ( watched a video with Kapon , detergent underneath , float tape on , push water out , heat it ) I take mine off as soon as the cooldown procedure is finished on the Ultimaker but it's basically as soon as you can touch the bed without losing finger prints... Sometimes they just pop off, most times I use a Stanley blade as a lever and once the vacuum is broken it lifts away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 In theory the bed and workpiece cool down and contract at different rates. As the bed cools you might hear a light cracking sound as the workpiece detaches. The Anycubic Ultrabase is really good for this with no extra adhesion promoter required. It's Teflon or similar coated. One reason for getting the borosilicate glass top was so that we can use other adhesion promoters, tapes etc and lever, use a sharpened scraper etc to encourage things to come off. All without damaging the Ultrabase. If printing a run of PLA the glass comes off. Sometimes it's easier to print and let the workpiece cool fully. Then heat the bed up so the bottom layer softens a bit and you can pull it off. PETG tends to stick really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Lose" some insignificant plastic kitchen bits, blame it on the supplier then suddenly realise you can print them. Go for the double and tell her how you've been on the phone giving them what for and they're sending new bits out etc. @Pocster's gonna get some!
