The right way to remove a stuck print job from glass M2

Post by jaguar3d » Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:44 am

Hello all! well i received my M2 today and am using the Simplify3D software. All is going great, however i have a nice printjob with a wide round surface and it is really stuck to the glass. I've tried a few minor things and don't want to damage the glass with a screwdriver or something like that. What is the best way to remove it. For now i'm leaving it until i get some help. I love this thing and want to take care of it.

Thanks!

How'd you stick it down? You can try the freezer.

Yes, just stick it in the freezer, it should come off by itself. You should also get a sharpened joint knife or a razor blade (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1977) to get under the corners and pry it off.

Thank you both for the great suggestions. i will try the freezer to see if it comes off on it's own and then try a razor or maybe something like a painters chisel so as to try not to damage the glass. THANKS!

For what it's worth it only takes an hour or so in the freezer.

You also never did say what you stuck it to the bed with :)
